NAME

6       DateTime::Format::W3CDTF - Parse and format W3CDTF datetime strings
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use DateTime::Format::W3CDTF;
10
11         my $f = DateTime::Format::W3CDTF->new;
12         my $dt = $f->parse_datetime( '2003-02-15T13:50:05-05:00' );
13
14         # 2003-02-15T13:50:05-05:00
15         $f->format_datetime($dt);
16

DESCRIPTION

18       This module understands the W3CDTF date/time format, an ISO 8601 pro‐
19       file, defined at http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime.  This format as
20       the native date format of RSS 1.0.
21
22       It can be used to parse these formats in order to create the appropri‐
23       ate objects.
24

METHODS

26       This API is currently experimental and may change in the future.
27
28       * parse_datetime($string)
29           Given a W3CDTF datetime string, this method will return a new
30           "DateTime" object.
31
32           If given an improperly formatted string, this method may die.
33
34       * format_datetime($datetime)
35           Given a "DateTime" object, this methods returns a W3CDTF datetime
36           string.
37
38           NOTE: As of version 0.4, format_datetime no longer attempts to
39           truncate datetimes without a time component.  This is due to the
40           fact that "DateTime" doesn't distinguish between a date with no
41           time component, and midnight.
42
43       * format_date($datetime)
44           Given a "DateTime" object, return a W3CDTF datetime string without
45           the time component.
