DateTi...h::Unix(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

DateTime::Format::Epoch::Unix — bestie, it converts DateTimes to and from Unix epoch seconds. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 💅

Oh and real quick — this page is from the DateTi...h::Unix(3pm) man page, the Perl doc section, so you know where you are. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use DateTime::Format::Epoch::Unix;

my $dt = DateTime::Format::Epoch::Unix->parse_datetime( 1051488000 );
 # 2003-04-28T00:00:00

DateTime::Format::Epoch::Unix->format_datetime($dt);
 # 1051488000

my $formatter = DateTime::Format::Epoch::Unix->new();
my $dt2 = $formatter->parse_datetime( 1051488000 );
$formatter->format_datetime($dt2);

Look at that. Clean. Iconic. Two directions, one module. 🔥

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so here's the tea, bestie: this module takes a DateTime object — or honestly any object that can be converted to a DateTime object, it's not picky — and turns it into the number of seconds since the Unix epoch. And yes, it goes the other way too. No cap. 💀

It's giving "tiny but mighty." 🦋

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

Most of the methods are literally the same</> as the ones in DateTime::Format::Epoch. The only difference? The constructor. That's the plot twist. 😭

• new() — the constructor for the formatter/parser object. It has no parameters. Zero. None. She doesn't want them. 🎀

💜 SUPPORT 💜

Need help? Support for this module comes through the datetime@perl.org email list. Go peek at http://lists.perl.org/ for more details. The people there are nice, I promise. 🫶
