NAME¶
Email::Date::Format - produce RFC 2822 date strings
SYNOPSIS¶
use Email::Date::Format qw(email_date);
my $header = email_date($date->epoch);
Email::Simple->create(
header => [
Date => $header,
],
body => '...',
);
DESCRIPTION¶
This module provides a simple means for generating an RFC 2822 compliant
datetime string. (In case you care, they're not RFC 822 dates, because they
use a four digit year, which is not allowed in RFC 822.)
FUNCTIONS
- email_date
-
my $date = email_date; # now
my $date = email_date( time - 60*60 ); # one hour ago
"email_date" accepts an epoch value, such as the one returned by
"time". It returns a string representing the date and time of
the input, as specified in RFC 2822. If no input value is provided, the
current value of "time" is used.
"format_date" is exported only if requested.
- email_gmdate
-
my $date = email_gmdate;
"email_gmdate" is identical to "email_date", but it will
return a string indicating the time in Greenwich Mean Time, rather than
local time.
"format_gmdate" is exported only if requested.
