✨ DateTime::Format::Epoch::Lilian 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the DateTime::Format::Epoch::Lilian page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation 💅 this is the one that does Convert DateTimes to/from Lilian Days, and yes it's exactly as niche and exactly as slay as it sounds.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe, copy-paste ready, no notes:

use DateTime::Format::Epoch::Lilian;

my $dt = DateTime::Format::Epoch::Lilian->parse_datetime( 53244.5 );
 # 2004-08-27T00:00:00

DateTime::Format::Epoch::Lilian->format_datetime($dt);
 # 53244.5

my $formatter = DateTime::Format::Epoch::Lilian->new();
my $dt2 = $formatter->parse_datetime( 53244.5 );
 # 2004-08-27T00:00:00
$formatter->format_datetime($dt2);
 # 53244.5

like. 53244.5 in, 2004-08-27T00:00:00 out. and then back again. it's giving round trip, it's giving balance 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does this lil module actually do. it can convert a DateTime object — or honestly any object that can be converted to a DateTime object, we don't gatekeep — into the Modified Julian Day number.

and if you want the full lore on how that works? bestie, go read DateTime::Format::Epoch::JD, it has a description. this page is not the page for that. 💅

---

👑 METHODS 👑

okay so here's the tea: most of the methods are the same as those in DateTime::Format::Epoch. the only difference is the constructor. that's it. that's the whole plot twist.

• new() — constructor of the formatter/parser object. it has no parameters. none. zero. it just exists, no cap. ✨
