SYNOPSIS

9         use Email::Date::Format qw(email_date);
10
11         my $header = email_date($date->epoch);
12

14           header => [
15             Date => $header,

DESCRIPTION

21       This module provides a simple means for generating an RFC 2822
22       compliant datetime string.  (In case you care, they're not RFC 822
23       dates, because they use a four digit year, which is not allowed in RFC
24       822.)
25
26   FUNCTIONS
27       email_date
28             my $date = email_date; # now
29             my $date = email_date( time - 60*60 ); # one hour ago
30
31           "email_date" accepts an epoch value, such as the one returned by
32           "time".  It returns a string representing the date and time of the
33           input, as specified in RFC 2822. If no input value is provided, the
34           current value of "time" is used.
35
36           "format_date" is exported only if requested.
37
38       email_gmdate
39             my $date = email_gmdate;
40
41           "email_gmdate" is identical to "email_date", but it will return a
42           string indicating the time in Greenwich Mean Time, rather than
43           local time.
44
45           "format_gmdate" is exported only if requested.
