SYNOPSIS

Top

  use DateTime::Format::Strptime;

  my $Strp = new DateTime::Format::Strptime(
  				pattern     => '%T',
  				locale      => 'en_AU',
  				time_zone   => 'Australia/Melbourne',
  			);

  my $dt = $Strp->parse_datetime('23:16:42');

  $Strp->format_datetime($dt);
	# 23:16:42







  # Croak when things go wrong:
  my $Strp = new DateTime::Format::Strptime(
  				pattern 	=> '%T',
  				locale	    => 'en_AU',
  				time_zone	=> 'Australia/Melbourne',
  				on_error	=> 'croak',
  			);

  $newpattern = $Strp->pattern('%Q');
  # Unidentified token in pattern: %Q in %Q at line 34 of script.pl

  # Do something else when things go wrong:
  my $Strp = new DateTime::Format::Strptime(
  				pattern 	=> '%T',
  				locale	    => 'en_AU',
  				time_zone	=> 'Australia/Melbourne',
  				on_error	=> \&phone_police,
  			);

DESCRIPTION

Top

This module implements most of strptime(3), the POSIX function that is the reverse of strftime(3), for DateTime. While strftime takes a DateTime and a pattern and returns a string, strptime takes a string and a pattern and returns the DateTime object associated.

CONSTRUCTOR

Top

* new( pattern=>$strptime_pattern )

Creates the format object. You must specify a pattern, you can also specify a time_zone and a locale. If you specify a time zone then any resulting DateTime object will be in that time zone. If you do not specify a time_zone parameter, but there is a time zone in the string you pass to parse_datetime, then the resulting DateTime will use that time zone.

You can optionally use an on_error parameter. This parameter has three valid options:

* 'undef'

(not undef, 'undef', it's a string not an undefined value)

This is the default behavior. The module will return undef whenever it gets upset. The error can be accessed using the $object->errstr method. This is the ideal behaviour for interactive use where a user might provide an illegal pattern or a date that doesn't match the pattern.

* 'croak'

(not croak, 'croak', it's a string, not a function)

This used to be the default behaviour. The module will croak with an error message whenever it gets upset.

* sub{...} or \&subname

When given a code ref, the module will call that sub when it gets upset. The sub receives two parameters: the object and the error message. Using these two it is possible to emulate the 'undef' behavior. (Returning a true value causes the method to return undef. Returning a false value causes the method to bravely continue):

sub{$_[0]->{errmsg} = $_[1]; 1},

METHODS

Top

This class offers the following methods.

* parse_datetime($string)

Given a string in the pattern specified in the constructor, this method will return a new DateTime object.

If given a string that doesn't match the pattern, the formatter will croak or return undef, depending on the setting of on_error in the constructor.

* format_datetime($datetime)

Given a DateTime object, this methods returns a string formatted in the object's format. This method is synonymous with DateTime's strftime method.

* locale($locale)

When given a locale or DateTime::Locale object, this method sets its locale appropriately. If the locale is not understood, the method will croak or return undef (depending on the setting of on_error in the constructor)

If successful this method returns the current locale. (After processing as above).

* pattern($strptime_pattern)

When given a pattern, this method sets the object's pattern. If the pattern is invalid, the method will croak or return undef (depending on the value of the on_error parameter)

If successful this method returns the current pattern. (After processing as above)

* time_zone($time_zone)

When given a name, offset or DateTime::TimeZone object, this method sets the object's time zone. This effects the DateTime object returned by parse_datetime

If the time zone is invalid, the method will croak or return undef (depending on the value of the on_error parameter)

If successful this method returns the current time zone. (After processing as above)

* errmsg

If the on_error behavior of the object is 'undef', error messages with this method so you can work out why things went wrong.

This code emulates a $DateTime::Format::Strptime with the on_error parameter equal to 'croak':

$Strp-pattern($pattern) or die $DateTime::Format::Strptime::errmsg>

EXPORTS

Top

There are no methods exported by default, however the following are available:

* strptime($strptime_pattern, $string)

Given a pattern and a string this function will return a new DateTime object.

* strftime($strftime_pattern, $datetime)

Given a pattern and a DateTime object this function will return a formatted string.

STRPTIME PATTERN TOKENS

Top

The following tokens are allowed in the pattern string for strptime (parse_datetime):

* %%

The % character.

* %a or %A

The weekday name according to the current locale, in abbreviated form or the full name.

* %b or %B or %h

The month name according to the current locale, in abbreviated form or the full name.

* %C

The century number (0-99).

* %d or %e

The day of month (1-31).

* %D

Equivalent to %m/%d/%y. (This is the American style date, very confusing to non-Americans, especially since %d/%m/%y is widely used in Europe. The ISO 8601 standard pattern is %F.)

* %F

Equivalent to %Y-%m-%d. (This is the ISO style date)

* %g

The year corresponding to the ISO week number, but without the century (0-99).

* %G

The year corresponding to the ISO week number.

* %H

The hour (0-23).

* %I

The hour on a 12-hour clock (1-12).

* %j

The day number in the year (1-366).

* %m

The month number (1-12).

* %M

The minute (0-59).

* %n

Arbitrary whitespace.

* %N

Nanoseconds. For other sub-second values use %[number]N.

* %p

The equivalent of AM or PM according to the locale in use. (See DateTime::Locale)

* %r

Equivalent to %I:%M:%S %p.

* %R

Equivalent to %H:%M.

* %s

Number of seconds since the Epoch.

* %S

The second (0-60; 60 may occur for leap seconds. See DateTime::LeapSecond).

* %t

Arbitrary whitespace.

* %T

Equivalent to %H:%M:%S.

* %U

The week number with Sunday the first day of the week (0-53). The first Sunday of January is the first day of week 1.

* %u

The weekday number (1-7) with Monday = 1. This is the DateTime standard.

* %w

The weekday number (0-6) with Sunday = 0.

* %W

The week number with Monday the first day of the week (0-53). The first Monday of January is the first day of week 1.

* %y

The year within century (0-99). When a century is not otherwise specified, values in the range 69-99 refer to years in the twentieth century (1969-1999); values in the range 00-68 refer to years in the twenty-first century (2000-2068).

* %Y

The year, including century (for example, 1991).

* %z

An RFC-822/ISO 8601 standard time zone specification. (For example +1100) [See note below]

* %Z

The timezone name. (For example EST -- which is ambiguous) [See note below]

* %O

This extended token allows the use of Olson Time Zone names to appear in parsed strings. NOTE: This pattern cannot be passed to DateTime's strftime() method, but can be passed to format_datetime().
