SYNOPSIS

12         use Email::Date::Format qw(email_date);
13
14         my $header = email_date($date->epoch);
15
16         Email::Simple->create(
17           header => [
18             Date => $header,

20           body => '...',
21         );

DESCRIPTION

24       This module provides a simple means for generating an RFC 2822
25       compliant datetime string.  (In case you care, they're not RFC 822
26       dates, because they use a four digit year, which is not allowed in RFC
27       822.)

FUNCTIONS

30   email_date
31         my $date = email_date; # now
32         my $date = email_date( time - 60*60 ); # one hour ago
33
34       "email_date" accepts an epoch value, such as the one returned by
35       "time".  It returns a string representing the date and time of the
36       input, as specified in RFC 2822. If no input value is provided, the
37       current value of "time" is used.
38
39       "email_date" is exported only if requested.
40
41   email_gmdate
42         my $date = email_gmdate;
43
44       "email_gmdate" is identical to "email_date", but it will return a
45       string indicating the time in Greenwich Mean Time, rather than local
46       time.
47
48       "email_gmdate" is exported only if requested.
