SYNOPSIS

12           use DateTime::Format::ISO8601;
13
14           my $datetime_str = '2020-07-25T11:32:31';
15           my $dt = DateTime::Format::ISO8601->parse_datetime($datetime_str);
16           say $dt;
17
18           # This format is ambiguous and could be either a date or time, so use the
19           # parse_time method.
20           my $time_str = '113231';
21           $dt = DateTime::Format::ISO8601->parse_time($time_str);
22           say $dt;
23
24           # or
25
26           my $iso8601 = DateTime::Format::ISO8601->new;
27           $dt = $iso8601->parse_datetime($datetime_str);
28           say $dt;
29
30           $dt = $iso8601->parse_time($time_str);
31           say $dt;
32
33           say DateTime::Format::ISO8601->format_datetime($dt);
34

DESCRIPTION

36       Parses almost all ISO8601 date and time formats. ISO8601 time-intervals
37       will be supported in a later release.
38

METHODS

40       This class provides the following methods:
41
42   Constructors
43       DateTime::Format::ISO8601->new( ... )
44
45       Accepts an optional hash.
46
47           my $iso8601 = DateTime::Format::ISO8601->new(
48               base_datetime => $dt,
49               cut_off_year  => 42,
50               legacy_year   => 1,
51           );
52
53       •   base_datetime
54
55           A "DateTime" object that will be used to fill in missing
56           information from incomplete date/time formats.
57
58           This key is optional.
59
60       •   cut_off_year
61
62           A integer representing the cut-off point between interpreting
63           2-digits years as 19xx or 20xx.
64
65               2-digit years <  cut_off_year will be interpreted as 20xx
66               2-digit years >= cut_off_year will be untreated as 19xx
67
68           This key defaults to the value of "DefaultCutOffYear".
69
70       •   legacy_year
71
72           A boolean value controlling if a 2-digit year is interpreted as
73           being in the current century (unless a "base_datetime" is set) or
74           if "cut_off_year" should be used to place the year in either 20xx
75           or 19xx.
76
77           If this is true, then the "cut_off_year" is used. If this is false,
78           then the year is always interpreted as being in the current
79           century.
80
81           This key defaults to the value of "DefaultLegacyYear".
82
83       $iso8601->clone
84
85       Returns a replica of the given object.
86
87   Object Methods
88       $iso8601->base_datetime
89
90       Returns a "DateTime" object if a "base_datetime" has been set.
91
92       $iso8601->set_base_datetime( object => $object )
93
94       Accepts a "DateTime" object that will be used to fill in missing
95       information from incomplete date/time formats.
96
97       $iso8601->cut_off_year
98
99       Returns a integer representing the cut-off point between interpreting
100       2-digits years as 19xx or 20xx.
101
102       $iso8601->set_cut_off_year($int)
103
104       Accepts a integer representing the cut-off point between interpreting
105       2-digits years as 19xx or 20xx.
106
107           2-digit years <  legacy_year will be interpreted as 20xx
108           2-digit years >= legacy_year will be interpreted as 19xx
109
110       $iso8601->legacy_year
111
112       Returns a boolean value indicating the 2-digit year handling behavior.
113
114       $iso8601->set_legacy_year($bool)
115
116       Accepts a boolean value controlling if a 2-digit year is interpreted as
117       being in the current century (unless a "base_datetime" is set) or if
118       "cut_off_year" should be used to place the year in either 20xx or 19xx.
119
120   Class Methods
121       DateTime::Format::ISO8601->DefaultCutOffYear($int)
122
123       Accepts a integer representing the cut-off point for 2-digit years when
124       calling "parse_*" as class methods and the default value for
125       "cut_off_year" when creating objects. If called with no parameters this
126       method will return the default value for "cut_off_year".
127
128       DateTime::Format::ISO8601->DefaultLegacyYear($bool)
129
130       Accepts a boolean value controlling the legacy year behavior when
131       calling "parse_*" as class methods and the default value for
132       "legacy_year" when creating objects. If called with no parameters this
133       method will return the default value for "legacy_year".
134
135   Parser(s)
136       These methods may be called as either class or object methods.
137
138       parse_datetime
139
140       parse_time
141
142       Please see the "FORMATS" section.
143
144   Formatter
145       This may be called as either class or object method.
146
147       format_datetime($dt)
148
149       Formats the datetime in an ISO8601-compatible format. This differs from
150       "iso8601" in DateTime by including nanoseconds/milliseconds and the
151       correct timezone offset.
152

FORMATS

154       There are 6 strings that can match against date only or time only
155       formats. The "parse_datetime" method will attempt to match these
156       ambiguous strings against date only formats. If you want to match
157       against the time only formats use the "parse_time" method.
158
159   Conventions
160       •   Expanded ISO8601
161
162           These formats are supported with exactly 6 digits for the year.
163           Support for a variable number of digits will be in a later release.
164
165       •   Precision
166
167           If a format doesn't include a year all larger time unit up to and
168           including the year are filled in using the current date/time or [if
169           set] the "base_datetime" object.
170
171       •   Fractional time
172
173           There is no limit on the expressed precision.
174
175   Supported via parse_datetime
176       The supported formats are listed by the section of ISO 8601:2000(E) in
177       which they appear.

369       has grown into The Vacuum Energy Powered "Swiss Army" Katana of date

371       Iain's work.
372
373       Tom Phoenix (PHOENIX) and PDX.pm for helping me solve the ISO week
374       conversion bug. Not by fixing the code but motivation me to fix it so I
375       could participate in a game of "Zendo".
376
377       Jonathan Leffler (JOHNL) for reporting a test bug.
