NAME

DateTime::Format::RFC3339 - Parse and format RFC3339 datetime strings

VERSION

Version 1.8.0

SYNOPSIS

   use DateTime::Format::RFC3339;

   my $format = DateTime::Format::RFC3339->new();
   my $dt = $format->parse_datetime( '2002-07-01T13:50:05Z' );

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

DESCRIPTION

This module understands the RFC3339 date/time format, an ISO 8601 profile, defined at http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339.

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

CONSTRUCTOR

new

   my $format = DateTime::Format::RFC3339->new();
   my $format = DateTime::Format::RFC3339->new( %options );

A number of options are supported:

• decimals

     decimals => undef      [default]
     decimals => $decimals

  Date-time strings generated by <format_datetime> will have this many decimals (an integer from zero to nine). If undef, zero will be used if the date-time has no decimals, nine otherwise.

• sep

     sep => "T"      [default]
     sep => $sep

• sep_re

     sep_re => $sep_re

  The spec allows for a separator other than "T" to be used between the date and the time.

  The string provided to the sep option is used when formatting date-time objects into strings, and the regex pattern provided to the sep_re option is used when parsing strings into date-time objects.

  The default for sep_re is a regex pattern that matches the separator (which is "T" by default).

• uc_only

     uc_only => 0   [default]
     uc_only => 1

  Only an uppercase date and time separator and an uppercase timezone offset "Z" will be accepted by parse_datetime when this option is true.

METHODS

parse_datetime

   my $dt = DateTime::Format::RFC3339->parse_datetime( $string );
   my $dt = $format->parse_datetime( $string );

Given a RFC3339 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

   my $string = DateTime::Format::RFC3339->format_datetime( $dt );
   my $string = $format->format_datetime( $dt );

Given a DateTime object, this methods returns a RFC3339 datetime string.
