NAME¶

HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::DateHeader - A Date Header

VERSION¶

version 0.09

SYNOPSIS¶

  use HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::DateHeader;
  # create from string
  my $date = HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::DateHeader->new_from_string(
      'Mon, 23 Apr 2012 14:14:19 GMT'
  );
  # create using Time::Peice object
  my $date = HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::DateHeader->new(
      $timepeice_object
  );

DESCRIPTION¶

This is an object which represents an HTTP header with a date. It will inflate the header value into a Time::Piece object and proxy most of the relevant methods.

DateTime compatibility¶

I opted to not use DateTime (by default) for this class since it is not a core module and can be a memory hog at times. That said, it should be noted that DateTime objects are compatible with this class. You will need to pass in a DateTime instance to "new" and after that everything should behave properly. If you want "new_from_string" to inflate strings to DateTime objects you will need to override that method yourself.

METHODS¶

"date"

Returns the underlying Time::Piece object.

"new_from_string ( $date_header_string )"

This will take an HTTP header Date string and parse it into and object.

"as_string"

"second"

"minute"

"hour"

"day_of_month"

"month_number"

"fullmonth"

"month"

"year"

"day_of_week"

"day"

"fullday"

"epoch"

These delegate to the underlying Time::Piece object.
