Date::Manip::MigrationUser(Contributed Perl DocumDate::Manip::Migration5to6(3)

NAME
       Date::Manip::Migration5to6 - how to upgrade from 5.xx to 6.00

SYNOPSIS
       When upgrading from Date::Manip 5.xx to 6.00, a few changes may be
       necessary to your scripts.

       The Date::Manip::Changes5to6 document lists in more detail the ways in
       which Date::Manip changed, but very few of these actually entail
       changes to your script.

       It should be noted that once the changes are made to your script, it
       will no longer run correctly in 5.xx.

NECESSARY AND SUGGESTED CHANGES
       The following changes are necessary, or strongly suggested:

       Reading config files with Date_Init
	   If you use Date_Init to read any config files (if you do business
	   mode calculations, you probably do), you should remove all of the
	   following config variables from your call to Date_Init:

	      GlobalCnf=FILE
	      PersonalCnf=FILE
	      PathSep=*
	      IgnoreGlobalCnf=*
	      PersonalCnfPath=*

	   and replace them with:

	      ConfigFile=FILE

	   where FILE is now the full path to a config file. Also, the
	   ConfigFile argument should be the first argument in Date_Init.

       Date_ConvTZ
	   The Date_ConvTZ function has changed. It should now take 3
	   arguments:

	      $date = Date_ConvTZ($date,$from,$to);

	   If $from is not given, it defaults to the local time zone. If $to
	   is not given, it defaults to the local time zone.

	   The date is converted from the $from time zone into the $to time
	   zone. Both should be any time zone (or alias) supported by
	   Date::Manip.

	   The old $errlevel argument is no longer handled.

       ConvTZ and TZ config variables
	   If you use either the ConvTZ or TZ config variables, you should
	   replace them with either SetDate or ForceDate. See the
	   Date::Manip::Config document for information.

	   The TZ variable will continue to work until Dec 2013 at which point
	   it will be removed.

       Other deprecated config variables
	   The following config variables have been deprecated, but will
	   continue to function (though they will be removed at a future
	   date):

	      TZ	   (removed Dec 2013)

	   The following variables have been removed. If you use any of them,
	   you may need to modify your scripts:

	      IntCharSet
	      GlobalCnf
	      PersonalCnf
	      PathSep
	      IgnoreGlobalCnf
	      PersonalCnfPath
	      ConvTZ
	      Internal
	      TodayIsMidnight
	      DeltaSigns
	      UpdateCurrTZ
	      ResetWorkdDay

       today, yesterday, tomorrow
	   If you parse the strings "today", "yesterday", or "tomorrow" in
	   order to get the time now, or 24 hours in the past/future, this
	   will no longer work.	 These strings now refer strictly to the date
	   (so "today" is the current day at midnight, "yesterday" is the
	   previous day at midnight, etc.).

	   To get the time now, 24 hours ago, or 24 hours in the future, you
	   would need to parse the strings "now", "-24:00:00", or "+24:00:00"
	   respectively.

       Do not use Memoize
	   In 5.xx, it was documented that you could use the module Memoize to
	   speed up Date::Manip, especially when sorting dates.

	   This information is no longer accurate. Using Memoize in
	   conjunction with Date::Manip should have little impact on
	   performance, and may lead to incorrect results, especially if you
	   change config variables.

	   Please see the Date::Manip::Changes5to6 (GENERAL CHANGES) document
	   for more information.

       If you find other instances where it is necessary to modify your
       script, please email me so that I can add that information to this
       document.
