NAME DateTime::Format::PayPal::IPN - Parse PayPal IPN timestamps VERSION version 0.000001 SYNOPSIS use DateTime::Format::PayPal::IPN; my $dt = DateTime::Format::PayPal::IPN->parse_timestamp( '02:35:35 Feb 16, 2010 PST' ); # 2010-02-16 02:35:35 DateTime::Format::PayPal::IPN->format_timestamp($dt); DESCRIPTION This module parses and formats timestamps returned by PayPal's IPN (Instant Payment Notification) system. METHODS * parse_timestamp($string) Given a value of the appropriate type, this method will return a new DateTime object. The time zone for this object will always be the 'America/Los_Angeles' as all IPN data which I have seen is sent in this time zone format. If given an improperly formatted string, this method should die. * format_timestamp($datetime) Given a "DateTime" object, this methods returns an appropriately formatted string. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Most of the Pod was directly lifted from Dave Rolsky's DateTime::Format::MySQL. AUTHOR Olaf Alders COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is Copyright (c) 2014 by MaxMind, Inc.
