NAME

6       XML::XQL::Date - Adds an XQL::Node type for representing and comparing
7       dates and times
8

SYNOPSIS

10        use XML::XQL;
11        use XML::XQL::Date;
12
13        my $query = new XML::XQL::Query (Expr => "doc//timestamp[. < date('12/31/1999')]");
14        my @results = $query->solve ($doc);

DESCRIPTION

17       This package uses the Date::Manip package to add an XQL node type
18       (called XML::XQL::Date) that can be used to represent dates and times.
19       The Date::Manip package can parse almost any date or time format
20       imaginable.  (I tested it with Date::Manip 5.33 and I know for sure
21       that it doesn't work with 5.20 or lower.)
22
23       It also adds the XQL date function which creates an XML::XQL::Date
24       object from a string. See XML::XQL::Tutorial for a description of the
25       date() function.
26
27       You can plug in your own Date type, if you don't want to use
28       Date::Manip
29        for some reason. See XML::XQL and the XML::XQL::Date source file for
30       more details.
