NAME
DateTime::Format::WindowsFileTime - make a nice DateTime object from the "Windows File Time" hex string.
SYNOPSIS
use DateTime::Format::WindowsFileTime;
my $dt = DateTime::Format::WindowsFileTime->parse_datetime( '01C4FA8464623000' );
# $dt is a regular DateTime object
print "$dt\n"; # yields '2005-01-15T03:00:00'DESCRIPTION
Converts a Windows FILETIME into a DateTime object. The Windows FILETIME structure holds a date and time associated with a file. The structure identifies a 64-bit integer specifying the number of 100-nanosecond intervals which have passed since January 1, 1601.
EXPORT
None by default.
METHODS
parse_datetime
Is called as a class method (use the arrow) and takes a string representing the windows filetime hex value as it's sole argument. Returns a DateTime object.
Note: don't pass it a hex number in perl (eg. 0x01c4fa8464623000). Just a string.

Thanks to Robert A. Lerche for finding a bug and recommending the fix.
