NAME
       Email::Date::Format - produce RFC 2822 date strings

VERSION
       version 1.005

SYNOPSIS
         use Email::Date::Format qw(email_date);

         my $header = email_date($date->epoch);

         Email::Simple->create(
           header => [
             Date => $header,
           ],
           body => '...',
         );

DESCRIPTION
       This module provides a simple means for generating an RFC 2822 compliant datetime string.
       (In case you care, they're not RFC 822 dates, because they use a four digit year, which is
       not allowed in RFC 822.)

FUNCTIONS
   email_date
         my $date = email_date; # now
         my $date = email_date( time - 60*60 ); # one hour ago

       "email_date" accepts an epoch value, such as the one returned by "time".  It returns a string
       representing the date and time of the input, as specified in RFC 2822. If no input value is
       provided, the current value of "time" is used.

       "email_date" is exported only if requested.

   email_gmdate
         my $date = email_gmdate;

       "email_gmdate" is identical to "email_date", but it will return a string indicating the time
       in Greenwich Mean Time, rather than local time.

       "email_gmdate" is exported only if requested.
