use DateTime::Format::W3CDTF; my $w3c = DateTime::Format::W3CDTF->new(strict => 1); my $dt = $w3c->parse_datetime( '2003-02-15T13:50:05-05:00' ); # 2003-02-15T13:50:05-05:00 $w3c->format_datetime($dt);
It can be used to parse these formats in order to create the appropriate objects.
Returns a new W3CDTF parser object. Accepts a single "strict" option:
DateTime::Format::W3CDTF->new(strict => 1);
If true, parse_datetime() and format_datetime() will only accept and return strings in W3CDTF format, respectively. In particular, the W3CDTF format requires all time components to have timezones.
If false, timezones are optional.
Given a W3CDTF datetime string, this method will return a new "DateTime" object.
If given an improperly formatted string, this method may die.
Given a "DateTime" object, this methods returns a W3CDTF datetime string.
NOTE: As of version 0.4, format_datetime no longer attempts to truncate datetimes without a time component. This is due to the fact that "DateTime" doesn't distinguish between a date with no time component, and midnight.
Given a "DateTime" object, return a W3CDTF datetime string without the time component.
