NAME

       DateTime::Format::DateParse - Parses Date::Parse compatible formats

SYNOPSIS

	   use DateTime::Format::DateParse;

	   my $dt = DateTime::Format::DateParse->parse_datetime( $date );
	   my $dt = DateTime::Format::DateParse->parse_datetime( $date, $zone );

DESCRIPTION

       This module is a compatibility wrapper around Date::Parse.

USAGE

   Import Parameters
       This module accepts no arguments to it's "import" method and exports no symbols.

   Methods
       Class Methods

       o   parse_datetime($date [, $zone])

	   Accepts a Date::Parse compatible $date string and optionally a Time::Zone compatible $zone string.

	   Returns a DateTime object.

GOTCHAS

       o   If parse_datetime is called on a $date that doesn't know specify a timezone and $zone is not set, then the timezone of the returned
	   DateTime object will be set to the "local" timezone.  This is consistent with the behavior of Date::Parse.

       o   If parse_datetime is called without a $zone but the $date string does specify a timezone/offset or if parse_datetime is called with a
	   $zone that DateTime::TimeZone does not understand, the returned DateTime object will have it's timezone set to a fixed offset from UTC.
	   This means that "DST" information is not available and date math will not reflect "DST" transitions.  This may be resolved for true
	   timezones by using the DateTime::TimeZone::Alias module to "alias" the Time::Zone timezone to an Olson DB name.  This may be done
	   automatically in a future release.

NAME

       DateTime::Format::Epoch::TAI64 - Convert DateTimes to/from TAI64 values

SYNOPSIS

	 use DateTime::Format::Epoch::TAI64;

	 my $dt = DateTime::Format::Epoch::TAI64
		       ->parse_datetime( '4611686019483526367' );
	  # 2003-06-20T19:49:59

	 DateTime::Format::Epoch::TAI64->format_datetime($dt);
	  # 4611686019483526367

	 my $formatter = DateTime::Format::Epoch::TAI64->new();

	 $dt = $formatter->parse_datetime( '4611686019483526367' );
	  # 2003-06-20T19:49:59

	 $formatter->format_datetime($dt);
	  # 4611686019483526367

	 my $str_frmt = DateTime::Format::Epoch::TAI64->new(
						       format => 'string' );

	 $dt = $str_frmt->parse_datetime( "x40x3exf3x69x6a" );
	  # 2003-06-20T19:49:59

	 $str_frmt->format_datetime($dt);
	  # "x40x3exf3x69x6a"

DESCRIPTION

       This module can convert a DateTime object (or any object that can be converted to a DateTime object) to a TAI64 value. The TAI64 timescale
       covers the entire expected lifespan of the universe (at least, if you expect the universe to be closed).

METHODS

       Most of the methods are the same as those in DateTime::Format::Epoch.  The only difference is the constructor.

       o   new( [format => 'string'] )

	   Constructor of the formatter/parser object. If the optional format parameter is set to 'string', TAI64 values will be expected to be 8
	   byte strings.
