NAME
Date::Parser::Date - Simple date object
VERSION
Version 0.4
SYNOPSIS
my $date = Date::Parser::Date->new(
year => $year,
month => $month,
day => $day,
hour => $hour,
min => $min,
sec => $sec,
);
# or Date::Parser::Date->new(unixtime => $unixtime);DESCRIPTION
A simple date object.
METHODS
new(%opts)
The constructor. Attempts to construct sensible date and time values based on a simple algorithm. See "CONSTRUCTOR_PARAMETERS".
If unixtime is passed, it is used and other values are populated.
If year, month, day, hour, min and sec are provided, populates unixtime.
If only year, month and day are provided, uses all possible time values provided, and excepts noon otherwise - then populates unixtime.
If only hour and min (and optionally sec) are defined, sets date for today. Afterwards, unixtime is populated.
time2str($format)
Returns Date::Format::time2str($format, $self->unixtime).
unixtime
Returns date in unixtime.
calc($date)
Expects Date::Parser::Date-object. Returns a new Date::Parser::Date-object representing the time between self and given $date.
cmp($date)
Expects Date::Parser::Date-object. Compares dates. Returns -1 if this object is before $date, 0 if dates match and 1 if this object is after $date.
assign($key, $value)
Sets/overwrites a parameter $key with $value.

The constructor accepts following parameters:
unixtime
Seconds since 1.1.1970, e.g. 1295784779

month
