SUBROUTINES

31   datetime_to_palmtime
32         $palmtime = datetime_to_palmtime($datetime)
33
34       Converts Palm OS DateTimeType to a palmtime hashref.  In addition to
35       the usual keys, $palmtime will contain a "wday" field.
36
37   dlptime_to_palmtime
38         $palmtime = dlptime_to_palmtime($dlptime)
39
40       Converts Palm OS DlpDateTimeType to a palmtime hashref.
41
42   dlptime_to_secs
43         $secs = dlptime_to_secs($dlptime)
44
45       Converts a Palm OS DlpDateTimeType to epoch time.
46
47   palmtime_to_ascii
48         $string = palmtime_to_secs(\%palmtime)
49
50       Converts a palmtime hashref to a "YYYYMMDDhhmmss" string (e.g.
51       20011116200051).  %palmtime must contain all standard fields.
52
53   palmtime_to_dlptime
54         $dlptime = palmtime_to_dlptime(\%palmtime)
55
56       Converts a palmtime hashref to a Palm OS DlpDateTimeType.  %palmtime
57       must contain all standard fields.
58
59   palmtime_to_iso8601
60         $string = palmtime_to_iso8601(\%palmtime)
61
62       Converts a palmtime hashref to a "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ" string (e.g.
63       "2001-11-16T20:00:51Z").  %palmtime must contain all standard fields.
64       GMT timezone ("Z") is assumed.
65
66   palmtime_to_secs
67         $secs = palmtime_to_secs(\%palmtime)
68
69       Converts a palmtime hashref to epoch seconds.  %palmtime must contain
70       all standard fields.
71
72   secs_to_dlptime
73         $dlptime = secs_to_dlptime($secs)
74
75       Converts epoch time to a Palm OS DlpDateTimeType.
76
77   secs_to_palmtime
78         $palmtime = secs_to_palmtime($secs)
79
80       Converts epoch seconds to a palmtime hashref.
