NAME¶
DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory - Active Directory epoch seconds
SYNOPSIS¶
use DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory;
my $dt = DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory
->parse_datetime( 1051488000 );
DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory->format_datetime($dt);
# 1051488000
my $formatter = DateTime::Format::Epoch::ActiveDirectory->new();
my $dt2 = $formatter->parse_datetime( 1051488000 );
$formatter->format_datetime($dt2);
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 epoch used in
Microsoft Active Directory.
Note that this 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);
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.
