Common methods for dealing with Date/Time.
PREREQUISITES
This package is part of a larger distribution and was NOT intended to be
used directly. In order for this plugin to work properly, the following
packages must be installed:
Apache2::WebApp
Date::Calc
Date::Format
Date::Manip
Params::Validate
Time::ParseDate
INSTALLATION
From source:
$ tar xfz Apache2-WebApp-Plugin-DateTime-0.X.X.tar.gz
$ perl MakeFile.PL PREFIX=~/path/to/custom/dir LIB=~/path/to/custom/lib
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
Perl one liner using CPAN.pm:
$ perl -MCPAN -e 'install Apache2::WebApp::Plugin::DateTime'
Use of CPAN.pm in interactive mode:
$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install Apache2::WebApp::Plugin::DateTime
cpan> quit
Just like the manual installation of Perl modules, the user may need
root access during this process to insure write permission is allowed
within the installation directory.
OBJECT METHODS
days_between_dates
Return the total days between dates.
my $date1 = 'Sun Oct 18 15:14:48 2009'; # then and
my $date2 = localtime(time); # now
my $delta = $c->plugin('DateTime')->days_between_dates( $date1, $date2 );
format_time
Convert seconds-since-epoch to a human readable format.
my $date = $c->plugin('DateTime')->format_time( $unix_time, '%a %b %d %T %Y' );
See Date::Format for character conversion specification.
