DateTime::Format::Epoch::NTP(3)

NAME
DateTime::Format::Epoch::NTP - Convert DateTimes to/from NTP epoch seconds

SYNOPSIS
  use DateTime::Format::Epoch::NTP;

  my $dt = DateTime::Format::Epoch::NTP->parse_datetime( 3629861151 );
  print $dt->datetime; # '2015-01-10T06:45:51'

  my $formatter = DateTime::Format::Epoch::NTP->new();
  my $dt = DateTime->new( year => 2015, month => 1, day => 10,
    time_zone => 'Europe/Amsterdam' );
  print $formatter->format_datetime($dt); # '3629833200'

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 NTP epoch.

The NTP epoch uses UTC; if you parse an NTP date your DateTime object will be using the UTC timezone.

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.

SUPPORT
Support for this module is provided via the datetime@perl.org email list. See http://lists.perl.org/ for more details.
