APR::Date - Perl API for APR date manipulating functions
Synopsis
use APR::Date ();
# parse HTTP-complient date string
$date_string = 'Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT';
$date_parsed = APR::Date::parse_http($date_string);
# parse RFC822-complient date string
$date_string = 'Sun, 6 Nov 94 8:49:37 GMT';
$date_parsed = APR::Date::parse_rfc($date_string);
Description
"APR::Socket" provides the Perl interface to APR date manipulating functions.
API
"APR::Date" provides the following functions and/or methods:
"parse_http"
Parse HTTP date strings
$date_parsed = parse_http($date_string);
arg1: $date_string ( string )
The date string can be in one of the following formats:
Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 822, updated by RFC 1123
Sunday, 06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 850, obsoleted by RFC 1036
Sun Nov 6 08:49:37 1994 ; ANSI C's asctime() format
refer to RFC2616 for the details (GMT is assumed, regardless of the used timezone).
ret: $date_parsed ( number )
the number of microseconds since 1 Jan 1970 GMT, or 0 if out of range or if the date is invalid.
since: 2.0.00
Remember to divide the return value by 1_000_000 if you need it in seconds.
"parse_rfc"
Parse a string resembling an RFC 822 date. It's meant to be lenient in its parsing of dates. Hence, this will parse a wider range of
dates than "parse_http()".
$date_parsed = parse_rfc($date_string);
arg1: $date_string ( string )
The date string can be in one of the following formats:
Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 822, updated by RFC 1123
Sunday, 06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 850, obsoleted by RFC 1036
Sun Nov 6 08:49:37 1994 ; ANSI C's asctime() format
Sun, 6 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 822, updated by RFC 1123
Sun, 06 Nov 94 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 822

ret: $date_parsed ( number )
the number of microseconds since 1 Jan 1970 GMT, or 0 if out of range or if the date is invalid.
