NAME

       Template::Plugin::DateTime::Format - format DateTime objects from inside TT with "DateTime::Format"-style formatters

VERSION

       version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

	  [% USE f = DateTime::Format('DateTime::Format::Strptime', { pattern => "%T" }) %]
	  [% f.format(datetime_object) %]

DESCRIPTION

       Oftentimes, you have a DateTime object that you want to render in your template.  However, the default rendering (2008-01-01T01:23:45) is
       pretty ugly.  Formatting the DateTime with a DateTime::Format object is the usual solution, but there's usually not a nice place to put the
       formatting code.

       This plugin solves that problem.  You can create a formatter object from within TT and then use that object to format DateTime objects.

   CREATING AN OBJECT
       Creating a formatter instance is done in the usual TT way:

	 [% USE varname = DateTime::Format( ... args ... ) %]

       This creates a new formatter and calls it "varname".

       The constructor takes up to three arguments.  The first argument is the name of the formatter class.  It is required, and the named class
       must follow the DateTime::Format API.  An exception will be thrown if the class cannot be loaded.

       The second argument is a reference to pass to the formatter's constructor.  If it is an array reference, the array will be dereferenced
       before being passed to "new" as @_.  Otherwise, the single reference is passed to the constructor.

       The third argument is optional and is the rest of @_ to pass to "format_datetime" after the DateTime object.  I don't know if this is
       actually allowed by the API, but I figured it might come in handy.

   FORMATTING DATES
       Once you've created the object, invoke the "format" method with the DateTime object you'd like to format.  The result of "format_datetime"
       is returned.

METHODS

   new
       Called by TT to create a new formatter.

   format($datetime)
       Formats $datetime.

NAME

       DateTime::Format::DB2 - Parse and format DB2 dates and times

SYNOPSIS

	 use DateTime::Format::DB2;

	 my $dt = DateTime::Format::DB2->parse_timestamp( '2003-01-16-23.12.01.300000' );

	 # 2003-01-16-23.12.01.300000
	 DateTime::Format::DB2->format_timestamp($dt);

DESCRIPTION

       This module understands the formats used by DB2 for its DATE, TIME, and TIMESTAMP data types.  It can be used to parse these formats in
       order to create DateTime objects, and it can take a DateTime object and produce a string representing it in the DB2 format.

METHODS

       This class offers the following methods.  All of the parsing methods set the returned DateTime object's time zone to the floating time
       zone, because DB2 does not provide time zone information.

       * parse_time($string)
       * parse_date($string)
       * parse_timestamp($string)
	   Given a value of the appropriate type, this method will return a new "DateTime" object.  The time zone for this object will always be
	   the floating time zone, because by DB2 stores the local datetime, not UTC.

	   If given an improperly formatted string, this method may die.

       * format_date($datetime)
       * format_time($datetime)
       * format_timestamp($datetime)
	   Given a "DateTime" object, this methods returns an appropriately formatted string.

SUPPORT

       Support for this module is provided via the datetime@perl.org email list.  See http://lists.perl.org/ for more details.
