XML::XQL::Date(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation XML::XQL::Date(3)NAMEXML::XQL::Date - Adds an XQL::Node type for representing and comparing
dates and times
SYNOPSIS
use XML::XQL;
use XML::XQL::Date;
my $query = new XML::XQL::Query (Expr => "doc//timestamp[. < date('12/31/1999')]");
my @results = $query->solve ($doc);
DESCRIPTION
This package uses the Date::Manip package to add an XQL node type
(called XML::XQL::Date) that can be used to represent dates and times.
The Date::Manip package can parse almost any date or time format imag-
inable. (I tested it with Date::Manip 5.33 and I know for sure that it
doesn't work with 5.20 or lower.)
It also adds the XQL date function which creates an XML::XQL::Date
object from a string. See XML::XQL::Tutorial for a description of the
date() function.
You can plug in your own Date type, if you don't want to use
Date::Manip
for some reason. See XML::XQL and the XML::XQL::Date source file for
more details.
