DateTime::LeapSecond - DEPRECATED: use "DateTime" distribution instead

NAME

DateTime::LeapSecond - DEPRECATED: use ``DateTime'' distribution instead

SYNOPSIS

  use DateTime;
  use DateTime::LeapSecond;
  print "Leap seconds between years 1990 and 2000 are ";
  print Date::Leapsecond::leap_seconds( $utc_rd_2000 ) - 
        Date::Leapsecond::leap_seconds( $utc_rd_1990 );

DESCRIPTION

This module is used to calculate leap seconds for a given Rata Die day. It is mostly intended for use by the DateTime.pm, rather than for external users.

This library is known to be accurate for dates until december 2003.

There are no leap seconds before 1972, because that's the year this system was implemented.

NOTE: As of DateTime.pm 0.16, DateTime.pm implements this code in XS internally. It also includes this module in the distribution in case the XS code cannot be compiled.
