NAME
DateTime::Format::W3CDTF - Parse and format W3CDTF datetime strings
VERSION
This document describes DateTime::Format::W3CDTF version 0.08
SYNOPSIS
use DateTime::Format::W3CDTF;
my $w3c = DateTime::Format::W3CDTF->new(strict => 1);
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 new()
Returns a new W3CDTF parser object. Accepts a single "strict" option:
DateTime::Format::W3CDTF->new(strict => 1);
If true, parse_datetime() and format_datetime() will only accept and return strings in
W3CDTF format, respectively. In particular, the W3CDTF format requires all time
components to have timezones.
If false, timezones are optional.
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.
