NAME
Email::Date::Format - produce RFC 2822 date strings
VERSION
version 1.008
SYNOPSIS
use Email::Date::Format qw(email_date);
my $header = email_date($date->epoch);
Email::Simple->create(
header => [
Date => $header,
],
body => '...',
);
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a simple means for generating an RFC 2822
compliant datetime string. (In case you care, they're not RFC 822
dates, because they use a four digit year, which is not allowed in RFC
822.)
PERL VERSION
This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It
should work on any version of perl released in the last five years.
Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made
that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version
may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches
will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
FUNCTIONS
email_date
my $date = email_date; # now
my $date = email_date( time - 60*60 ); # one hour ago
"email_date" accepts an epoch value, such as the one returned by
"time". It returns a string representing the date and time of the
input, as specified in RFC 2822. If no input value is provided, the
current value of "time" is used.
"email_date" is exported only if requested.
email_gmdate
my $date = email_gmdate;
"email_gmdate" is identical to "email_date", but it will return a
string indicating the time in Greenwich Mean Time, rather than local
time.
"email_gmdate" is exported only if requested.
