NAME

6       DateTime::Format::ISO8601 - Parses ISO8601 formats
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use DateTime::Format::ISO8601;
10
11           my $dt = DateTime::Format::ISO8601->parse_datetime( $str );
12           my $dt = DateTime::Format::ISO8601->parse_time( $str );
13
14           or
15
16           my $iso8601 = DateTime::Format::ISO8601->new;
17           my $dt = $iso8601->parse_datetime( $str );
18           my $dt = $iso8601->parse_time( $str );
19

DESCRIPTION

21       Parses almost all ISO8601 date and time formats.  ISO8601 time-
22       intervals will be supported in a later release.

40
41           ·   base_datetime
42

59
60               A boolean value controlling if a 2-digit year is interpreted as
61               being in the current century (unless a "base_datetime" is set)
62               or if "cut_off_year" should be used to place the year in either
63               20xx or 19xx.

81
82       ·   cut_off_year
83
84           Returns a integer representing the cut-off point between

103           interpreted as being in the current century (unless a
104           "base_datetime" is set) or if "cut_off_year" should be used to

108
109       ·   DefaultCutOffYear( $int )
110
111           Accepts a integer representing the cut-off point for 2-digit years
112           when calling "parse_*" as class methods and the default value for
113           "cut_off_year" when creating objects.  If called with no parameters
114           this method will return the default value for "cut_off_year".
115
116       ·   DefaultLegacyYear( $bool )
117
118           Accepts a boolean value controlling the legacy year behavior when
119           calling "parse_*" as class methods and the default value for
120           "legacy_year" when creating objects.  If called with no parameters
121           this method will return the default value for "legacy_year".

123       Parser(s)
124
125       These may be called as either class or object methods.

130
131           Please see the "FORMATS" section.
132

FORMATS

134       There are 6 string that can match against date only or time only
135       formats.  The "parse_datetime" method will attempt to match these
136       ambiguous strings against date only formats.  If you want to match
137       against the time only formats see the "parse_time" method.
138
139   Conventions
140       ·   Expanded ISO8601
141
142           These formats are supported with exactly 6 digits for the year.
143           Support for a variable number of digits will be in a later release.
144
145       ·   Precision
146
147           If a format doesn't include a year all larger time unit up to and
148           including the year are filled in using the current date/time or [if
149           set] the "base_datetime" object.
150
151       ·   Fractional time
152
153           There is no limit on the expressed precision.
154
155   Supported via parse_datetime
156       The supported formats are listed by the section of ISO 8601:2000(E) in
157       which they appear.

CREDITS

358       Iain 'Spoon' Truskett (SPOON) who wrote DateTime::Format::Builder.
359       That has grown into The Vacuum Energy Powered "Swiss Army" Katana of
360       date and time parsing.  This module was inspired by and conceived in
361       honor of Iain's work.
362
363       Tom Phoenix (PHOENIX) and PDX.pm for helping me solve the ISO week
364       conversion bug.  Not by fixing the code but motivation me to fix it so
365       I could participate in a game of "Zendo".
366
367       Jonathan Leffler (JOHNL) for reporting a test bug.
368
369       Kelly McCauley for a patch to add 8 missing formats.
370
371       Alasdair Allan (AALLAN) for complaining about excessive test execution
372       time.
