# HTML::Microformats::Datatype::DateTime(3pm)

dates and datetimes

## NAME

HTML::Microformats::Datatype::DateTime - dates and datetimes

## SYNOPSIS

```
 my $duration = HTML::Microformats::Datatype::DateTime->now;
 print "$duration\n";
```

## DESCRIPTION

This class inherits from DateTime, so supports all of DateTime's methods.

### Constructors

This class inherits from DateTime, so DateTime's standard constructors (`"new"`, `"now"`, etc) should work. Also:

- "$dt = HTML::Microformats::Datatype::DateTime-\>parse($string, $elem, $context, \[$tz\], \[$base\])"

  Creates a new HTML::Microformats::Datatype::DateTime object.

  `$tz` is the timezone to use (if it can't be figured out) and `$base` is a base datetime to use for relative datetimes, whatever that means.

### Public Methods

- "$d-\>to\_string"

  Returns a literal string.

- "$d-\>datatype"

  Returns an the RDF datatype URI representing the data type of this literal.
