The TimeDate distribution replaces earlier GetDate distribution, which was
|
|
only a date parser. The date parser contained in this distribution
|
|
is far superior to the yacc based parser, and a *lot* fatser.
|
|
|
|
The parser contained here will only parse absolute dates, if you want a date
|
|
parser that can parse relative dates then take a look at the
|
|
Time modules by David Muir on CPAN.
|
|
|
|
The file Local.pm.new which is included in this distribution is a patched
|
|
version of Time::Local which comes with perl. It fixes two problems
|
|
|
|
- It determines the zone offset based on now rather than epoch
|
|
- It fixes a problem with looping forever when a year > 1900 is passed in
