DateTime::Format::W3CDTF - Parse and format W3CDTF datetime strings
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);
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.
This API is currently experimental and may change in the future.
- new()
Returns a new W3CDTF parser object.
- parse_datetime($string)
Given a W3CDTF datetime string, this method will return a new
DateTime object.
If given an improperly formatted string, this method may die.
- format_datetime($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.
- format_date($datetime)
Given a DateTime object, return a W3CDTF datetime string without the time component.
