NAME
       Email::Date::Format - produce RFC 2822 date strings
VERSION
       version 1.005
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.
       "email_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.
       "email_gmdate" is exported only if requested.
