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.)
