DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation	     DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory(3pm)

NAME
       DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory -  Active Directory epoch seconds

SYNOPSIS
	 use DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory;

	 my $dt = DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory
		       ->parse_datetime( 1051488000 );

	 DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory->format_datetime($dt);
	  # 1051488000

	 my $formatter = DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory->new();
	 my $dt2 = $formatter->parse_datetime( 1051488000 );
	 $formatter->format_datetime($dt2);

DESCRIPTION
       This module can convert a DateTime object (or any object that can be converted to a DateTime object) to the number of seconds since the
       epoch used in Microsoft Active Directory.

       Note that this epoch is defined in the local time zone. This means that these two pieces of code will print the same number of seconds,
       even though they represent two datetimes 6 hours apart:

	   $dt = DateTime->new( year => 2003, month => 5, day => 2,
				time_zone => 'Europe/Amsterdam' );
	   print $formatter->format_datetime($dt);

	   $dt = DateTime->new( year => 2003, month => 5, day => 2,
				time_zone => 'America/Chicago' );
	   print $formatter->format_datetime($dt);

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

       o   new()

	   Constructor of the formatter/parser object. It has no parameters.
