email::date::format

Email::Date::Format(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  Email::Date::Format(3pm)

NAME

       Email::Date::Format - produce RFC 2822 date strings

SYNOPSIS

	 use Email::Date::Format qw(email_date);

	 my $header = email_date($date->epoch);

	 Email::Simple->create(
	   header => [
	     Date => $header,
	   ],
	   body => '...',
	 );

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a simple means for generating an RFC 2822 compliant datetime string.  (In case you care, they're not RFC 822 dates,
       because they use a four digit year, which is not allowed in RFC 822.)

       FUNCTIONS

       email_date
	     my $date = email_date; # now
	     my $date = email_date( time - 60*60 ); # one hour ago

	   "email_date" accepts an epoch value, such as the one returned by "time".  It returns a string representing the date and time of the
	   input, as specified in RFC 2822. If no input value is provided, the current value of "time" is used.

	   "format_date" is exported only if requested.

       email_gmdate
	     my $date = email_gmdate;

	   "email_gmdate" is identical to "email_date", but it will return a string indicating the time in Greenwich Mean Time, rather than local
	   time.

	   "format_gmdate" is exported only if requested.
