NAME

SPOPSx::Tool::DateTime - SPOPS extension for arbitrarily formatted DateTime fields

SYNOPSIS

%conf = (
    table_alias => {
        # ...
        datetime_format => {
            atime => 'DateTime::Format::MySQL',
            mtime => 'DateTime::Format::Baby',
            ctime => DateTime::Format::Strptime->new(pattern => '%D %T'),
        },
        # ...
    }
);

DESCRIPTION

This module allows for DateTime objects to be stored to and loaded from a database field. This module differs from the SPOPS::Tool::DateConvert tool that is distributed with SPOPS in that it allows for the use of arbitrary DateTime format objects. (See http://datetime.perl.org/ for details on DateTime and formatting.)
