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::MySQL - Parse and format MySQL dates and times

SYNOPSIS

	 use DateTime::Format::MySQL;

	 my $dt = DateTime::Format::MySQL->parse_datetime( '2003-01-16 23:12:01' );

	 # 2003-01-16 23:12:01
	 DateTime::Format::MySQL->format_datetime($dt);

DESCRIPTION

       This module understands the formats used by MySQL for its DATE, DATETIME, 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 MySQL 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 MySQL does not provide time zone information.

       * parse_datetime($string)
       * parse_date($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 MySQL stores the local datetime, not UTC.

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

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