SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new

Creates a DateTime::Format::Genealogy object.

parse_datetime($string)

Given a date, runs it through Genealogy::Gedcom::Date to create a DateTime object. If a date range is given, return a two element array in array context, or undef in scalar context

Returns undef if the date can't be parsed, is before AD100, is just a year or if it is an approximate date starting with "c", "ca" or "abt". Can be called as a class or object method.

my $dt = DateTime::Format::Genealogy->new()->parse_datetime('25 Dec 2022');

Optional arguments: date: the date to be parsed quiet: set to fail silently if there is an error with the date strict: more strictly enforce the Gedcom standard, for example don't allow long month names

BUGS

I can't get DateTime::Format::Natural to work on dates before AD100, so this module rejects dates that old.
