DateTime::Format::RFC3339 - Parse and format RFC3339 datetime strings
Version 1.8.0
use DateTime::Format::RFC3339; my $format = DateTime::Format::RFC3339->new(); my $dt = $format->parse_datetime( '2002-07-01T13:50:05Z' ); # 2002-07-01T13:50:05Z say $format->format_datetime( $dt );
This module understands the RFC3339 date/time format, an ISO 8601 profile, defined at http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339.
It can be used to parse these formats in order to create the appropriate objects.
my $format = DateTime::Format::RFC3339->new(); my $format = DateTime::Format::RFC3339->new( %options );
A number of options are supported:
decimals
decimals => undef [default] decimals => $decimals
Date-time strings generated by <format_datetime> will have this many decimals (an integer from zero to nine). If undef, zero will be used if the date-time has no decimals, nine otherwise.
undef
sep
sep => "T" [default] sep => $sep
sep_re
sep_re => $sep_re
The spec allows for a separator other than "T" to be used between the date and the time.
T
The string provided to the sep option is used when formatting date-time objects into strings, and the regex pattern provided to the sep_re option is used when parsing strings into date-time objects.
The default for sep_re is a regex pattern that matches the separator (which is "T" by default).
uc_only
uc_only => 0 [default] uc_only => 1
Only an uppercase date and time separator and an uppercase timezone offset "Z" will be accepted by parse_datetime when this option is true.
parse_datetime
my $dt = DateTime::Format::RFC3339->parse_datetime( $string ); my $dt = $format->parse_datetime( $string );
Given a RFC3339 datetime string, this method will return a new DateTime object.
If given an improperly formatted string, this method will croak.
For a more flexible parser, see DateTime::Format::ISO8601.
my $string = DateTime::Format::RFC3339->format_datetime( $dt ); my $string = $format->format_datetime( $dt );
Given a DateTime object, this methods returns a RFC3339 datetime string.
