xml::xql::date(3)
NAME
XML::XQL::Date - Adds an XQL::Node type for representing
and comparing dates and times
SYNOPSIS
use XML::XQL;
use XML::XQL::Date;
my $query = new XML::XQL::Query (Expr => "doc//timestamp[. < date('12/31/1999')]");
my @results = $query->solve ($doc);
DESCRIPTION
This package uses the Date::Manip package to add an XQL
node type (called XML::XQL::Date) that can be used to rep
resent dates and times. The Date::Manip package can parse
almost any date or time format imaginable. (I tested it
with Date::Manip 5.33 and I know for sure that it doesn't
work with 5.20 or lower.)
It also adds the XQL date function which creates an
XML::XQL::Date object from a string. See XML::XQL::Tuto
rial for a description of the date() function.
- You can plug in your own Date type, if you don't want to
use Date::Manip - for some reason. See XML::XQL and the XML::XQL::Date
- source file for more details.
