.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module provides routines to format dates into \s-1ASCII\s0 strings. They
correspond to the C library routines \f(CW\*(C`strftime\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`ctime\*(C'\fR.
.IP "time2str(\s-1TEMPLATE, TIME\s0 [, \s-1ZONE\s0 [, \s-1LANGUAGE\s0]])" 4
.IX Item "time2str(TEMPLATE, TIME [, ZONE [, LANGUAGE]])"
\&\f(CW\*(C`time2str\*(C'\fR converts \f(CW\*(C`TIME\*(C'\fR into an \s-1ASCII\s0 string using the conversion
specification given in \f(CW\*(C`TEMPLATE\*(C'\fR. \f(CW\*(C`ZONE\*(C'\fR if given specifies the zone
which the output is required to be in, \f(CW\*(C`ZONE\*(C'\fR defaults to your current zone.
\&\f(CW\*(C`LANGUAGE\*(C'\fR if given specifies the language for day and month names
(e.g. \f(CW\*(AqGerman\*(Aq\fR, \f(CW\*(AqFrench\*(Aq\fR); defaults to \f(CW\*(AqEnglish\*(Aq\fR.
.IP "strftime(\s-1TEMPLATE, TIME\s0 [, \s-1ZONE\s0])" 4
.IX Item "strftime(TEMPLATE, TIME [, ZONE])"
\&\f(CW\*(C`strftime\*(C'\fR is similar to \f(CW\*(C`time2str\*(C'\fR with the exception that the time is
passed as an array, such as the array returned by \f(CW\*(C`localtime\*(C'\fR.
.IP "ctime(\s-1TIME\s0 [, \s-1ZONE\s0])" 4
.IX Item "ctime(TIME [, ZONE])"
\&\f(CW\*(C`ctime\*(C'\fR calls \f(CW\*(C`time2str\*(C'\fR with the given arguments using the
conversion specification \f(CW"%a %b %e %T %Y\en"\fR
.IP "asctime(\s-1TIME\s0 [, \s-1ZONE\s0])" 4
.IX Item "asctime(TIME [, ZONE])"
\&\f(CW\*(C`asctime\*(C'\fR calls \f(CW\*(C`time2str\*(C'\fR with the given arguments using the
conversion specification \f(CW"%a %b %e %T %Y\en"\fR
.SH "NAME"
Date::Format \- Date formatting subroutines
.SH "MULTI-LANGUAGE SUPPORT"
.IX Header "MULTI-LANGUAGE SUPPORT"
Date::Format is capable of formatting into several languages. You can
pass an optional language name directly to \f(CW\*(C`time2str\*(C'\fR:
.PP
.Vb 2
\& time2str("%a %b %e %T %Y\en", time, undef, \*(AqGerman\*(Aq);
\& time2str("%a %b %e %T %Y\en", time, \*(AqGMT\*(Aq, \*(AqFrench\*(Aq);
.Ve
.PP
Alternatively, create a language-specific object and call methods on it,
see Date::Language:
.PP
.Vb 2
\& my $lang = Date::Language\->new(\*(AqGerman\*(Aq);
\& $lang\->time2str("%a %b %e %T %Y\en", time);
.Ve
.SH "CONVERSION SPECIFICATION"
.IX Header "CONVERSION SPECIFICATION"
Each conversion specification is replaced by appropriate
characters as described in the following list. The
appropriate characters are determined by the \s-1LC_TIME\s0
category of the program's locale.
