DESCRIPTION
Module obtains count downs until New Years from www.timeanddate.com.
NOTICE TO THE USER
It's worth noting that www.timeanddate.com has this message at the top
of its HTML code:
scripts and programs that download content transparent to
the user are not allowed without permission
...I'm not 100% sure about its meaning.
METHODS
"new"
my $hny = WebService::TimeAndDateCom::NewYearsCountdown->new;
Constructs and returns a new
"WebService::TimeAndDateCom::NewYearsCountdown" object. Does not take
any arguments.
"hny"
my $all_timezones_data = $hny->hny
or die $hny->error;
my $data = $hny->hny('EST')
or die $hny->error;
"hny" stands for Happy New Year. Takes one optional argument, which is
the time zone for which to retrieve the data; valid time zones are
listed below. On failure returns an "undef" or an empty list, depending
on the context, and the reason for error will be available using the
"->error" method. On success returns New Years countdown data. If the
time zone is specified, returns a single hashref for that time zone,
otherwise returns an arrayref of hashrefs of data for each time zone.
The format of the hashrefs is as follows:
{
'tz' => 'EST',
'time_left' => '4 days, 02:10:04',
'countries' => 'regions of U.S.A., regions of Canada and 12 more',
'cities' => 'New York, Washington DC, Detroit, Havana'
}
* "tz" time zone code
* "time_left" time until New Years in that time zone
* "countries" a brief list of regions/countries in that time zone
* "cities" a brief list of cities in that time zone
