DateTime::Format::RFC3339(3)

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

VERSION
Version 1.10.0

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.
