💖 NetSDS::Util::DateTime — the vibe ✨

okay bestie, so this page is from the User Contributed Perl Documentation set, and it's literally all about NetSDS::Util::DateTime, the date/time bestie you didn't know you needed. it's giving "I do one thing and I do it slayfully". let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

NetSDS::Util::DateTime — common date/time processing routines

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

the whole glow-up in two lines, no cap:

use NetSDS::Util::DateTime;

print "Current date: " . date_now();

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically, this package hands you a whole set of routines for date and time processing. that's it, that's the description, and honestly? iconic. it does what it says on the tin, periodt. 💅

👑 EXPORTED FUNCTIONS 👑

these are the main characters. memorize them, iykyk.

  • date_now_array([TIME]) — gives you back an array of date items for the date you passed in. and if you didn't pass a source date? it just uses the current date, nbd. 🦋
  • date_now([TIME]) — returns the [given] date as a string, looking like this:
2001-12-23 14:39:53
  • date_now_iso8601([TIME]) — returns the date as an ISO 8601 string, like:
20011223T14:39:53Z

for the deep lore, the original page points you at:

  • date_strip(DATE) — trims the milliseconds off a date. bye bye, tiny numbers. 💀
  • date_date(DATE) — trims the time part off a date. just the date, nothing else.
  • date_time(DATE) — trims the date part off a date. time only, bestie. ⏰
  • time_from_string($string) — returns a parsed date/time structure. hand it a string, get structure back. 🌈
  • date_from_string($string) — returns the date from a string representation.
  • date_inc([INCREMENT, [TIME]]) — returns the date incremented by however many seconds you gave it. time travel but make it math. ✨
  • date_inc_string([INCREMENT, [TIME]]) — same energy as above, but it returns the string representation of the date incremented by that number of seconds. 💖
