NAME

DateTime::Format::Atom - Parse and format Atom datetime strings

VERSION

Version 1.2.0

SYNOPSIS

    use DateTime::Format::Atom;

    my $f = DateTime::Format::Atom->new();
    my $dt = $f->parse_datetime( '2002-07-01T13:50:05Z' );

    # 2002-07-01T13:50:05Z
    print $f->format_datetime($dt);

DESCRIPTION

This module understands the Atom date/time format, an ISO 8601 profile, defined at http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4287

It can be used to parse these formats in order to create the appropriate objects.

All the work is actually done by DateTime::Format::RFC3339.

METHODS

parse_datetime($string)

Given a Atom 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.

format_datetime($datetime)

Given a DateTime object, this methods returns a Atom datetime string.

For simplicity, the datetime will be converted to UTC first.
