This module understands the formats used by MySQL for its DATE, DATETIME, TIME, and TIMESTAMP data types. It can be used to parse these formats in order to create DateTime objects, and it can take a DateTime object and produce a string representing it in the MySQL format.
This class offers the following methods. All of the parsing methods set the returned DateTime object's time zone to the floating time zone, because MySQL does not provide time zone information.
parse_datetime($string)
parse_date($string)
parse_timestamp($string)
Given a value of the appropriate type, this method will return a new
DateTime object. The time zone for this object will always be the
floating time zone, because by MySQL stores the local datetime, not
UTC.
If given an improperly formatted string, this method may die.
format_date($datetime)
format_time($datetime)
format_datetime($datetime)
Given a DateTime object, this methods returns an appropriately
formatted string.
Support for this module is provided via the datetime@perl.org email list. See http://lists.perl.org/ for more details.
