DESCRIPTION
"Time::Moment" is an immutable object representing a date and time of
day with an offset from UTC in the ISO 8601 calendar system.
Time is measured in nanoseconds since "1970-01-01Z". In "Time:Moment"
leap seconds are ignored. It is assumed that there are exactly
"86,400,000,000" nanoseconds per day. "Time::Moment" can represent all
epoch integers from "-62,135,596,800" to "2,534,02,300,799"; this range
suffices to measure times to nanosecond precision for any instant that
is within "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z" to "9999-12-31T23:59:59Z".
CONSTRUCTORS
new
$tm = Time::Moment->new(
year => 2012,
month => 12,
day => 24,
hour => 15,
minute => 30,
second => 45,
nanosecond => 123456789,
offset => 0,
);
Constructs an instance of "Time::Moment" from the given components.
Parameters:
year
The year [1, 9999].
month
The month of the year [1, 12].
day The day of the month [1, 31]. The day must be valid for the year and
month, otherwise an exception is raised.
hour
The hour of the day [0, 23].
minute
The minute of the hour [0, 59].
second
The second of the minute [0, 59].
nanosecond
The nanosecond of the second [0, 999_999_999].
offset
The time zone offset from UTC in minutes [-1080, 1080].
now
$tm = Time::Moment->now;
Constructs an instance of "Time::Moment" that is set to the current date
and time from the system clock in the system time zone, with the offset
set to the system's time zone offset from UTC.
now_utc
$tm = Time::Moment->now_utc;
Constructs an instance of "Time::Moment" that is set to the current date
and time from the system clock in the UTC time zone.
from_epoch
$tm = Time::Moment->from_epoch($seconds);
$tm = Time::Moment->from_epoch($seconds, $nanosecond);
Constructs an instance of "Time::Moment" from the given *seconds* from
the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. The optional parameter *nanosecond*
specifies the nanosecond of the second [0, 999_999_999].
Fractional seconds is supported if the constructor is invoked with
*seconds* only:
$tm = Time::Moment->from_epoch(0.123456); # 1970-01-01T00:00:00.123456Z
from_object
$tm = Time::Moment->from_object($object);
Constructs an instance of "Time::Moment" from the given *object*. If the
given object is an instance of "Time::Moment" it's returned otherwise an
attempt is made to coerce the given object to an instance of
"Time::Moment".
"Time::Moment" implements coercion handlers for the following object
types:
DateTime
$tm = Time::Moment->from_object( DateTime->now );
The given "DateTime" object must be within the supported date range
and must have a time zone or a time zone offset from UTC, coercing
from the 'floating' time zone is not supported.
Time::Piece
$tm = Time::Moment->from_object( scalar Time::Piece::localtime() );
The given "Time::Piece" object must be within the supported date
range.
The coercion scheme is extensible and implemented as documented in
Params::Coerce:
$tm = Params::Coerce::coerce('Time::Moment', scalar Time::Piece::localtime());
$tm = Params::Coerce::coerce('Time::Moment', DateTime->now);
"Time::Moment" also implements a coercion handler from "Time::Moment" to
"DateTime":
$dt = Params::Coerce::coerce('DateTime', Time::Moment->now);
from_string
$tm = Time::Moment->from_string($string);
$tm = Time::Moment->from_string($string [, lenient => false]);
Constructs an instance of "Time::Moment" from the given *string*. The
string must consist of a complete date representation and time of day
followed by a time zone designator. The second part of the time of day
may be omitted or have a decimal fraction. The decimal sign can be
either the comma [,] or the full stop [.]. A decimal fraction must have
at least one digit and may have a total of nine digits.
The following are examples of complete date representations and time of
day representations:
Basic format: Example:

Where representations using calendar dates are shown, ordinal dates or
week dates may be substituted. This ISO 8601 profile correspond to a
subset of ISO 8601:2004 4.3 Date and time of day.
If the optional boolean parameter *lenient* is true the following
examples is also accepted where the date is a complete calendar date and
time of day in extended format:

The time designator [T] may be in lower case [t] or replaced with a
single space. A single space is also accepted between the time of day
and the zone designator if the time designator is replaced with a single
space. The zone designator may be in basic format even though the
calendar date and time of day is in extended format. The UTC designator
[Z] may also be in lower case [z]. The literal string GMT or UTC may be
used as a UTC designator and may have an offset. Usage of these string
representations is strongly discouraged as they do not conform to the
ISO 8601 standard.

single digit is preceded by a space.
%f Replaced by the fractional second including the preceding decimal
point or by an empty string if no fractional seconds are present.
This conversion specification permits use of an optional maximum
field width [0, 9] where the default field width of 0 will use the
shortest of the following representations:
.fff (millisecond)
.ffffff (microsecond)
.fffffffff (nanosecond)
Example:
$tm = Time::Moment->from_string('2012-12-24T15:30:45.123456Z');
$tm->strftime('%f'); # '.123456'
$tm->strftime('%4f'); # '.1234'
$tm = Time::Moment->from_string('2012-12-24T15:30:45Z');
$tm->strftime('%f'); # ''
$tm->strftime('%4f'); # ''
%4f is replaced by decimal point and exactly four fractional digits
(zero-padded on the right or truncated if needed) if fractional
seconds are present.

conversion specification permits use of an optional maximum field
width [0, 9] where the default field width of 0 will use the
shortest of the following representations:

stringified representation of the instance.
CBOR
"Time::Moment" implements a "TO_CBOR" method that returns the
stringified representation of the instance using tag 0 (*standard
date/time string*).
See CBOR::XS, RFC 7049 Section 2.4.1
<
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049#section-2.4.1> and "eg/cbor.pl" for
an example how to roundtrip instances of "Time::Moment".

TIME ZONES
An instance of "Time::Moment" represents an unambiguous point in time,
but it's not fully time zone aware. When performing arithmetic on the
local date or time value or altering the components of the local date or
time it may be necessary to use a time zone to convert to the correct
representation.
"Time::Moment" is API compatible with DateTime::TimeZone and
DateTime::TimeZone::Tzfile.
Converting from UTC to designated time zone
$tm = Time::Moment->now;
$zone = DateTime::TimeZone->new(name => 'America/New_York');
$offset = int($zone->offset_for_datetime($tm) / 60);
say $tm->with_offset_same_instant($offset);
Converting from local time to designated time zone
$tm = Time::Moment->now;
$zone = DateTime::TimeZone->new(name => 'America/New_York');
$offset = int($zone->offset_for_local_datetime($tm) / 60);
say $tm->with_offset_same_local($offset);
The Effect of Daylight Saving Time
The time zone *Europe/Brussels* has 01:00 UTC as standard time, and
02:00 UTC as daylight savings time, with transition dates according to
the European Summer Time
<
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_Time_in_Europe>.
$zone = DateTime::TimeZone->new(name => 'Europe/Brussels');
sub convert_from_utc {
my ($tm, $zone) = @_;
my $offset = int($zone->offset_for_datetime($tm) / 60);
return $tm->with_offset_same_instant($offset);
}
sub convert_from_local {
my ($tm, $zone) = @_;
my $offset = int($zone->offset_for_local_datetime($tm) / 60);
return $tm->with_offset_same_local($offset);
}
European Summer Time begins (clocks go forward) at 01:00 UTC on the last
Sunday in March, in 2014 the transition date is March 30.
$tm1 = Time::Moment->from_string('2014-03-29T12:00:00+01:00');
$tm2 = $tm1->plus_hours(24);
say convert_from_utc($tm2, $zone); # 2014-03-30T13:00:00+02:00
say convert_from_local($tm2, $zone); # 2014-03-30T12:00:00+02:00
During the transition from standard time to daylight savings time, the
local time interval between 02:00:00 and 02:59:59 does not exist. Local
time values in that interval are invalid. "DateTime::TimeZone" raises an
exception when attempting to convert non-existing local time.
$tm1 = Time::Moment->from_string('2014-03-29T22:00:00+01:00');
$tm2 = $tm1->plus_hours(4);
say convert_from_utc($tm2, $zone); # 2014-03-30T03:00:00+02:00
say convert_from_local($tm2, $zone); # raises an exception
European Summer Time ends (clocks go backward) at 01:00 UTC on the last
Sunday in October, in 2014 the transition date is October 26.
$tm1 = Time::Moment->from_string('2014-10-25T12:00:00+02:00');
$tm2 = $tm1->plus_hours(24);
say convert_from_utc($tm2, $zone); # 2014-10-26T11:00:00+01:00
say convert_from_local($tm2, $zone); # 2014-10-26T12:00:00+01:00
During the transition from daylight savings time to standard time, the
local time interval between 02:00:00 and 02:59:59 is repeated. Local
time values in that interval are ambiguous because they occur twice.
When "DateTime::TimeZone" converts an ambiguous local time it returns
the numerically lowest offset (usually the standard one).
$tm1 = Time::Moment->from_string('2014-10-25T22:00:00+02:00');
$tm2 = $tm1->plus_hours(4);
say convert_from_utc($tm2, $zone); # 2014-10-26T02:00:00+02:00
say convert_from_local($tm2, $zone); # 2014-10-26T02:00:00+01:00
