From gwadej at anomaly.org Fri Sep 11 05:26:53 2015 From: gwadej at anomaly.org (G. Wade Johnson) Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2015 07:26:53 -0500 Subject: [pm-h] DateTime snippets Message-ID: <20150911072653.2d2da150@cygnus> After the discussion on Julian's time series code, I dug out some pieces of DateTime logic I've used. These may be useful for some. my $LocalTZ = DateTime::TimeZone->new( time_zone => 'local' ); This variable can be passed any time DateTime needs a time zone. Obviously, you can build other DateTime::TimeZone objects for other time zones that you need. $dt->add( days => 1 ); # Move forward one day $dt->subtract( days => 1 ); # Move backward one day These change the $dt object, but other than that are pretty useful. See DateTime::Duration for other arguments you can use. I haven't tried it, but $dt->truncate( to => 'day' ); Should truncate the $dt to midnight. Other values for 'to' truncate at other spots.

At the moment, we have a confirmed introductory talk on "UTF-8 and Perl" and a potential informal show-and-tell with CGI::Application::Dispatch and Role::Tiny. Hopefully more topics will appear before the date. As always, we meet on the second Thursday of the month at 7pm. In October, we will be meeting at Hostgator, 5005 Mitchelldale. Look forward to seeing you there. G. Wade PS.
