NAME

       BSON::Time - BSON type wrapper for date and time

VERSION

       version v1.12.2

SYNOPSIS

           use BSON::Types ':all';

           bson_time();        # now
           bson_time( $secs ); # floating point seconds since epoch

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a BSON type wrapper for a 64-bit date-time value in the form of
       milliseconds since the Unix epoch (UTC only).

       On a Perl without 64-bit integer support, the value must be a Math::BigInt object.

ATTRIBUTES

   value
       A integer representing milliseconds since the Unix epoch.  The default is 0.

METHODS

   epoch
       Returns the number of seconds since the epoch (i.e. a floating-point value).

   as_iso8601
       Returns the "value" as an ISO-8601 formatted string of the form
       "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ".  The fractional seconds will be omitted if they are zero.

   as_datetime
       Loads DateTime and returns the "value" as a DateTime object.

   as_datetime_tiny
       Loads DateTime::Tiny and returns the "value" as a DateTime::Tiny object.

   as_mango_time
       Loads Mango::BSON::Time and returns the "value" as a Mango::BSON::Time object.

   as_time_moment
       Loads Time::Moment and returns the "value" as a Time::Moment object.

   TO_JSON
       Returns a string formatted by "as_iso8601".

       If the "BSON_EXTJSON" option is true, it will instead be compatible with MongoDB's
       extended JSON <https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/extended-
       json.rst> format, which represents it as a document as follows:

       If the "BSON_EXTJSON" environment variable is true and the "BSON_EXTJSON_RELAXED"
       environment variable is false, returns a hashref compatible with MongoDB's extended JSON
       <https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/extended-json.rst> format,
       which represents it as a document as follows:

           {"$date" : { "$numberLong": "22337203685477580" } }

       If the "BSON_EXTJSON" and "BSON_EXTJSON_RELAXED" environment variables are both true, then
       it will return a hashref with an ISO-8601 string for dates after the Unix epoch and before
       the year 10,000 and a $numberLong style value otherwise.

           {"$date" : "2012-12-24T12:15:30.500Z"}
           {"$date" : { "$numberLong": "-10000000" } }

OVERLOADING

       Both numification ("0+") and stringification ("") are overloaded to return the result of
       "epoch".  Numeric comparison and string comparison are overloaded based on those and
       fallback overloading is enabled.
