# Date::Simple::D8(3pm)

Sub class of Date::Simple with eight digit date style formatting as default.

## NAME

Date::Simple::D8 - Sub class of Date::Simple with eight digit date style formatting as default.

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Date::Simple::D8;
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module changes the default stringification behaviour of Date::Simple objects to use the **as\_d8()** method instead.

- Date::Simple::D8-\>new (\[ARG, ...\])

  - date\_d8 (\[ARG, ...\])

  Identical to Date::Simple except that uses the D8 style formatting ('%Y%m%d') for overloaded stringification or when not providing a format argument to the **format()** method.
