Time::ParseDate(3pm)           User Contributed Perl Documentation           Time::ParseDate(3pm)

NAME
       Time::ParseDate -- date parsing both relative and absolute

SYNOPSIS
               use Time::ParseDate;
               $seconds_since_jan1_1970 = parsedate("12/11/94 2pm", NO_RELATIVE => 1)
               $seconds_since_jan1_1970 = parsedate("12/11/94 2pm", %options)

OPTIONS
       Date parsing can also use options.  The options are as follows:

               FUZZY   -> it's okay not to parse the entire date string
               NOW     -> the "current" time for relative times (defaults to time())
               ZONE    -> local timezone (defaults to $ENV{TZ})
               WHOLE   -> the whole input string must be parsed
               GMT     -> input time is assumed to be GMT, not localtime
               UK      -> prefer UK style dates (dd/mm over mm/dd)
               DATE_REQUIRED -> do not default the date
               TIME_REQUIRED -> do not default the time
               NO_RELATIVE -> input time is not relative to NOW
               TIMEFIRST -> try parsing time before date [not default]
               PREFER_PAST -> when year or day of week is ambiguous, assume past
               PREFER_FUTURE -> when year or day of week is ambiguous, assume future
               SUBSECOND -> parse fraction seconds
               VALIDATE -> only accept normal values for HHMMSS, YYMMDD.  Otherwise
                       days like -1 might give the last day of the previous month.

DESCRIPTION
       This module recognizes the above date/time formats.   Usually a date and a time are
       specified.  There are numerous options for controlling what is recognized and what is not.

       The return code is always the time in seconds since January 1st, 1970 or undef if it was
       unable to parse the time.

       If a timezone is specified it must be after the time.  Year specifications can be tacked
       onto the end of absolute times.

       If "parsedate()" is called from array context, then it will return two elements.  On
       successful parses, it will return the seconds and what remains of its input string.  On
       unsuccessful parses, it will return "undef" and an error string.

EXAMPLES
               $seconds = parsedate("Mon Jan  2 04:24:27 1995");
               $seconds = parsedate("Tue Apr 4 00:22:12 PDT 1995");
               $seconds = parsedate("04.04.95 00:22", ZONE => PDT);
               $seconds = parsedate("Jan 1 1999 11:23:34.578", SUBSECOND => 1);
               $seconds = parsedate("122212 950404", ZONE => PDT, TIMEFIRST => 1);
               $seconds = parsedate("+3 secs", NOW => 796978800);
               $seconds = parsedate("2 months", NOW => 796720932);
               $seconds = parsedate("last Tuesday");
               $seconds = parsedate("Sunday before last");

               ($seconds, $remaining) = parsedate("today is the day");
               ($seconds, $error) = parsedate("today is", WHOLE=>1);
