NAME

       Rose::DateTime - DateTime helper functions and objects.

SYNOPSIS

           use Rose::DateTime::Util qw(:all);

           $now  = parse_date('now');
           $then = parse_date('12/25/2001 6pm');

           $date_text = format_date($then, "%D at %T %p");

           ...

           use Rose::DateTime::Parser;

           $parser = Rose::DateTime::Parser->new(time_zone => 'UTC');

           $date = $parser->parse_date('12/25/1999');

DESCRIPTION

       The "Rose::DateTime::*" modules provide a few convenience functions and objects for use
       with "DateTime" dates.

       Rose::DateTime::Util contains a simple date parser and a slightly customized date
       formatter.

       Rose::DateTime::Parser encapsulates a date parser with an associated default time zone.

       This module ("Rose::DateTime") exists mostly to provide a version number for CPAN.  See
       the individual modules for some actual documentation.
