NAME

Azure::SAS::Timestamp - Creating timestamps for Azure Shared Access Signatures.

SYNOPSIS

 use Azure::SAS::Timestamp;
 
 my $ast;

 # Using an epoch time stamp
 $ast = Azure::SAS::Timestamp->new( 1589119719 );
 print $ast->sas_time;  # 2020-05-10T14:08:39Z
 
 
 # Using a DateTime object:
 use DateTime;
 $dt  = DateTime->new(
     year   => 2020,
     month  => 5,
     day    => 10,
     hour   => 13,
     minute => 12,
     second => 0
 );
 $ast = Azure::SAS::Timestamp->new( $dt ); 
 print $ast->sas_time;  # 2020-05-10T13:12:00Z
 
 # Using Time::Piece
 use Time::Piece;
 my $tp = Time::Piece->strptime( '2020-05-10T13:12:00', '%FT%T');
 $ast   = Azure::SAS::Timestamp->new( $tp );
 print $ast->sas_time;  # 2020-05-10T13:12:00Z

DESCRIPTION

Azure::SAS::Timestamp can be used to generate validly formated timestamps to be used when creating an Azure SAS (Shared Access Signature). Azure::SAS::Timestamp supports input as seconds from epoch, DateTime objects and Time::Piece objects.

There is only one method, `sas_time`, which is an ISO 8601 format with a 'Z' at the end.

The general idea is simply to allow a bit of sugar to avoid having to look up the format to use and the object methods of conversion.
