DateTime::Format::Flexible::lang::en(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation DateTime::Format::Flexible::lang::en(3pm)

NAME

DateTime::Format::Flexible::lang::en - the english language plugin

DESCRIPTION

You should not need to use this module directly.

If you only want to use one language, specify the lang property when parsing a date.

example:

 my $dt = DateTime::Format::Flexible->parse_datetime(
     'Wed, Jun 10, 2009' ,
     lang => ['en']
 );
 # $dt is now 2009-06-10T00:00:00

Note that this is not required, by default ALL languages are scanned when trying to parse a date.
