Dear Monks,
I've been trying to convert a date into a datetime object for later use but keep coming across the error:
Can't Locate object method "parse_datetime" via package DateTime:Format:Builder:Parser
but its used in the DateTime tutorial.
use strict; use warnings; use DateTime::Format::Builder; my $date = "Thu, 7 Aug 2008 08:35:36 +01:00"; $date =~ s/Thu\, //; $date =~ s/\+01:00$//; $date =~ s/Aug/08/; my $parser = DateTime::Format::Builder->new(); $parser = DateTime::Format::Builder->create_parser( regex => qr/^(\d\d)(\d\d)(\d\d\d\d)T(\d\d)(\d\d)(\d\d)$/, params => [ qw( day month year hour minute second ) ], ); my $dt = $parser->parse_datetime($date); print $parser->format_datetime($dt);
I'd be grateful for any pointers in converting this date.
