NAME
DateTime::Format::W3CDTF - Parse and format W3CDTF datetime strings
SYNOPSIS
use DateTime::Format::W3CDTF; my $w3c = DateTime::Format::W3CDTF->new; my $dt = $w3c->parse_datetime( '2003-02-15T13:50:05-05:00' ); # 2003-02-15T13:50:05-05:00 $w3c->format_datetime($dt);
DESCRIPTION
This module understands the W3CDTF date/time format, an ISO 8601
profile, defined at http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime. This format as
the native date format of RSS 1.0.
It can be used to parse these formats in order to create the
appropriate objects.
METHODS
This API is currently experimental and may change in the future.
- o parse_datetime($string)
- Given a W3CDTF datetime string, this method will return a new
"DateTime" object. - If given an improperly formatted string, this method may die.
- o format_datetime($datetime)
Given a "DateTime" object, this methods returns a W3CDTF datetime
string.- NOTE: As of version 0.4, format_datetime no longer attempts to
truncate datetimes without a time component. This is due to the
fact that "DateTime" doesn't distinguish between a date with no
time component, and midnight. - o format_date($datetime)
Given a "DateTime" object, return a W3CDTF datetime string without the time component.
