=head1 NAME

BuzzSaw::DateTime - A class which provides additional functionality to DateTime

=head1 VERSION

This documentation refers to BuzzSaw::Filter version 0.12.0

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use BuzzSaw::DateTime;

my $dt = BuzzSaw::DateTime->from_date_string( "this-week" );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module extends the DateTime module to provide an extra
constructor method. This method provides the ability to parse dates in
a variety of formats and styles to create a new DateTime object. In
particular, this module supports the date specifier strings used by
the Linux Audit Framework.

The BuzzSaw project provides a suite of tools for processing log file
entries. Entries in files are parsed and filtered into a set of events
of interest which are stored in a database. A report generation
framework is also available which makes it easy to generate regular
reports regarding the events discovered.

=head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS

This class provides one additional method beyond those provided by the
DateTime module.

=over

=item from_date_string( $str )

This method will return a new object based on one of the following
strings:

=over

=item C<now>

Right now.

=item C<today>

1 second after midnight on this day.

=item C<recent>

10 minutes ago.

=item C<yesterday>

1 second after midnight on the previous day.

=item C<this-week>

1 second after midnight on the first day of the week.

=item C<this-month>

1 second after midnight on the first day of the month.

=item C<this-year>

1 second after midnight on the first day of the year.

=item C<week-ago>

Seven days ago.

=item seconds from unix epoch

A string which is purely digits will be treated as being the number of
seconds since the unix epoch.

=item variously formatted date/time strings

Anything else that does not match something which has already been
mentioned above is passed to the L<Date::Parse> C<strptime>
function. This should work if the string is well formatted, if not you
might get something very weird returned.
