Email::Date::Format(3)User Contributed Perl DocumentatioEmail::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.
