Email::Date::Format(3)                         User Contributed Perl Documentation                        Email::Date::Format(3)



NAME
       Email::Date::Format - produce RFC 2822 date strings

SYNOPSIS
         use Email::Date::Format qw(email_date);

         my $header = email_date($date->epoch);

         Email::Simple->create(
           header => [
             Date => $header,
           ],
           body => '...',
         );

DESCRIPTION
       This module provides a simple means for generating an RFC 2822 compliant datetime string.  (In case you care, they're not
       RFC 822 dates, because they use a four digit year, which is not allowed in RFC 822.)

   FUNCTIONS
       email_date
             my $date = email_date; # now
             my $date = email_date( time - 60*60 ); # one hour ago

           "email_date" accepts an epoch value, such as the one returned by "time".  It returns a string representing the date
           and time of the input, as specified in RFC 2822. If no input value is provided, the current value of "time" is used.

           "format_date" is exported only if requested.

       email_gmdate
             my $date = email_gmdate;

           "email_gmdate" is identical to "email_date", but it will return a string indicating the time in Greenwich Mean Time,
           rather than local time.

           "format_gmdate" is exported only if requested.
