NAME¶
DateTime::Format::Epoch::MacOS - Convert DateTimes to/from Mac OS epoch seconds
SYNOPSIS¶
use DateTime::Format::Epoch::MacOS;
my $dt = DateTime::Format::Epoch::MacOS->parse_datetime( 1051488000 );
DateTime::Format::Epoch::MacOS->format_datetime($dt);
# 1051488000
my $formatter = DateTime::Format::Epoch::MacOS->new();
my $dt2 = $formatter->parse_datetime( 1051488000 );
$formatter->format_datetime($dt2);
# 1051488000
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 Mac OS epoch.
Note that the Mac OS 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);
Mac OS X is a Unix system, and uses the Unix epoch (1970-01-01T00:00:00). Use
DateTime::Format::Epoch::Unix instead.
METHODS¶
Most of the methods are the same as those in DateTime::Format::Epoch. The only
difference is the constructor.
- •
- new()
Constructor of the formatter/parser object. It has no parameters.
