It only handles dates within the range of Unix time. It will only allow the creation of objects for valid dates. Attempting to create an invalid date will return undef. =cut =head1 CONSTRUCTOR =head2 new my $date = Date::Simple->new('1972-01-17'); my $otherdate = Date::Simple->new(2000, 12, 25); The new method will return a date object if the values passed in specify a valid date. If an invalid date is passed, the method returns undef. =head1 INSTANCE METHODS =head2 next my $tomorrow = $today->next; Returns an object representing tomorrow. =head2 prev my $yesterday = $today->prev; Returns an object representing yesterday. =head2 year my $year = $date->year; Return the year of the date held in this date object =head2 month my $month = $date->month; Return the month of the date held in this date object =head2 day my $day = $date->day; Return the day of the date held in this date object =head2 format Returns a string representing the date, in the format specified. If you don't pass a parameter, an ISO 8601 formatted date is returned. my $change_date = $date->format("%d %b %y"); my $iso_date1 = $date->format("%Y-%m-%d"); my $iso_date2 = $date->format; The formatting parameter is similar to one you would pass to strftime(3). This is because we actually do pass it to strftime to format the date. =head1 OPERATORS Some operators can be used with Date::Simple instances: =over 4 =item * You can increment or decrement a date by a number of days using the += and -= operators =item * You can construct new dates offset by a number of days using the + and - operators. =item * You can subtract two dates ($d1 - $d2) to find the number of days between them. =item * You can compare two dates using the arithmetic comparison operators. =item * You can interpolate a date instance directly into a string, in the format specified by ISO 8601 (eg: 2000-01-17). =back =head1 AUTHOR Marty Pauley Emarty@kasei.comE =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2001 Kasei This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of either: a) the GNU General Public License; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. b) the Perl Artistic License.
