## DESCRIPTION

This module can convert a DateTime object (or any object that can be converted to a DateTime object) to the number of seconds since the NTP epoch.

The NTP epoch uses UTC; if you parse an NTP date your DateTime object will be using the UTC timezone.

## METHODS

Most of the methods are the same as those in DateTime::Format::Epoch. The only difference is the constructor.

- •

  **new()**

  Constructor of the formatter/parser object. It has no parameters.

## SUPPORT

Support for this module is provided via the datetime@perl.org email list. See http://lists.perl.org/ for more details.
