Provides strftime(), strptime() (coming soon), and a few predetermined formats for use with both.
It also comes with some localizations for month and day names.
These are exported by use DateTime::Format
Format the DateTime object using the format as specified in the string.
If you don't specify the language, it uses the currently set default.
Parse the string using the format as specified in the second string.
If you don't specify the language, it uses the currently set default.
Set the default language to use. This can be 'en' (the default language), or any language you have added using one of the Localization libraries.
Parse or Stringify a DateTime in the RFC 2822 format.
my $ts = 'Tue, 30 Apr 2013 13:02:10 -0700';
my $rfc = DateTime::Format::RFC2822.new();
my $dt = $rfc.parse($ts);
my $dt2 = $dt.utc();
say ~$dt2; ## Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:02:10 Z
The default localization is English, using the code 'en'. There is no loadable module for English, since it's strings are included by default in the DateTime::Format module.
The following are additional libraries that can add localizations to the DateTime::Format library. The languages will then be immediately usable.
- DateTime::Format::Lang::FR -- French
use DateTime::Format::Lang::FR;
set-datetime-lang('fr');
## You can also specify the :lang<fr> parameter to the
## strftime(), strptime() subroutines, or the parse() and format()
## methods within a DateTime::Format::* subclass such as RFC2822.
## This overrides the language for a single call, rather than setting
## a default value.
- Add strptime().
- More bundled formats.
- More localizations, and tests for them.
