NAME

       HTML::Microformats::Datatype - representations of literal values

DESCRIPTION

       Many places you'd expect a Perl scalar to appear, e.g.:

	 $my_hcard->get_fn;

       What you actually get returned is an object from one of the Datatype modules. Why? Because using a scalar loses information. For example,
       most strings have associated language information (from HTML lang and xml:lang attributes). Using an object allows this information to be
       kept.

       The Datatype modules overload stringification, which means that for the most part, you can use them as strings (subjecting them to regular
       expressions, concatenating them, printing them, etc) and everything will work just fine. But they're not strings.

BUGS

       Please report any bugs to <http://rt.cpan.org/>.

NAME

       HTML::Microformats::Datatype::DateTime - dates and datetimes

SYNOPSIS

	my $duration = HTML::Microformats::Datatype::DateTime->now;
	print "$duration
";

DESCRIPTION

       This class inherits from DateTime, so supports all of DateTime's methods.

   Constructors
       This class inherits from DateTime, so DateTime's standard constructors ("new", "now", etc) should work. Also:

       "$dt = HTML::Microformats::Datatype::DateTime->parse($string, $elem, $context, [$tz], [$base])"
	   Creates a new HTML::Microformats::Datatype::DateTime object.

	   $tz is the timezone to use (if it can't be figured out) and $base is a base datetime to use for relative datetimes, whatever that
	   means.

   Public Methods
       "$d->to_string"
	   Returns a literal string.

       "$d->datatype"
	   Returns an the RDF datatype URI representing the data type of this literal.

BUGS

       Please report any bugs to <http://rt.cpan.org/>.
