move_to_nth_dow

Takes an integer as an ordinal and a day of week representation

Returning the 3rd Monday of the month represented by the object or undef if it does not exist.

STATIC METHODS

month_number_to_abbrev

Static method returns a standard mapping from month numbers to our 3 character abbreviated format.

month_abbrev_to_number

Static method returns a standard mapping from 3 character abbreviated format to month numbers

is_epoch_timestamp

Check if a given datetime is an epoch timestemp, i.e. an integer of under 14 digits.

is_ddmmmyy

Check if a given "date" is in dd-Mmm-yy format (e.g. 1-Oct-10)

truncate_to_day

Returns a Date::Utility object with the time part truncated out of it.

For instance, '2011-12-13 23:24:25' will return a new Date::Utility object representing '2011-12-13 00:00:00'

today

Returns Date::Utility object for the start of the current day. Much faster than Date::Utility->new, as it will return the same object till the end of the day.
