=head1 NAME

DateTime::Format::Flexible - DateTime::Format::Flexible - Flexibly parse strings and turn them into DateTime objects.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use DateTime::Format::Flexible;
  my $dt = DateTime::Format::Flexible->parse_datetime(
      'January 8, 1999'
  );
  # $dt = a DateTime object set at 1999-01-08T00:00:00

=head1 DESCRIPTION

If you have ever had to use a program that made you type in the
date a certain way and thought "Why can't the computer just figure
out what date I wanted?", this module is for you.

F<DateTime::Format::Flexible> attempts to take any string you give
it and parse it into a DateTime object.

=head1 USAGE

This module uses F<DateTime::Format::Builder> under the covers.

=head2 parse_datetime

Give it a string and it attempts to parse it and return a DateTime
object.

If it cannot it will throw an exception.

 my $dt = DateTime::Format::Flexible->parse_datetime( $date );

 my $dt = DateTime::Format::Flexible->parse_datetime(
     $date,
     strip    => [qr{\.\z}],                  # optional, remove a trailing period
     tz_map   => {EDT => 'America/New_York'}, # optional, map the EDT timezone to America/New_York
     lang     => ['es'],                      # optional, only parse using spanish
     european => 1,                           # optional, catch some cases of DD-MM-YY
 );

=over 4

=item * C<base> (optional)

Does the same thing as the method C<base>.  Sets a base datetime for
incomplete dates.  Requires a valid DateTime object as an argument.

example:

 my $base_dt = DateTime->new( year => 2005, month => 2, day => 1 );
 my $dt = DateTime::Format::Flexible->parse_datetime(
    '18 Mar',
     base => $base_dt,
 );
 # $dt is now 2005-03-18T00:00:00

=item * C<strip> (optional)

Remove a substring from the string you are trying to parse.
You can pass multiple regexes in an arrayref.

example:

 my $dt = DateTime::Format::Flexible->parse_datetime(
     '2011-04-26 00:00:00 (registry time)',
     strip => [qr{\(registry time\)\z}],
 );
 # $dt is now 2011-04-26T00:00:00

This is helpful if you have a load of dates you want to normalize
and you know of some weird formatting beforehand.

=item * C<tz_map> (optional)

Map a given timezone to another recognized timezone
Values are given as a hashref.

example:

 my $dt = DateTime::Format::Flexible->parse_datetime(
     '25-Jun-2009 EDT',
     tz_map => {EDT => 'America/New_York'},
 );
 # $dt is now 2009-06-25T00:00:00 with a timezone of America/New_York

This is helpful if you have a load of dates that have timezones that
are not recognized by F<DateTime::Timezone>.

=item * C<lang> (optional)

Specify the language map plugins to use.

When DateTime::Format::Flexible parses a date with a string in it,
it will search for a way to convert that string to a number.  By
default it will search through all the language plugins to search
for a match.

NOTE: as of 0.22, it will only do this search if it detects a string
in the given date.

Setting C<lang> this lets you limit the scope of the search.

example:

 my $dt = DateTime::Format::Flexible->parse_datetime(
     'Wed, Jun 10, 2009',
     lang => ['en'],
 );
 # $dt is now 2009-06-10T00:00:00

Currently supported languages are english (en), spanish (es) and
german (de). Contributions, corrections, requests and examples
are VERY welcome.

See the F<DateTime::Format::Flexible::lang::en>,
F<DateTime::Format::Flexible::lang::es>, and
F<DateTime::Format::Flexible::lang::de>
for examples of the plugins.

=item * C<european> (optional)

If european is set to a true value, an attempt will be made to parse
as a DD-MM-YYYY date instead of the default MM-DD-YYYY.  There is a
chance that this will not do the right thing due to ambiguity.

example:

 my $dt = DateTime::Format::Flexible->parse_datetime(
     '16/06/2010' , european => 1,
 );
 # $dt is now 2010-06-16T00:00:00

=item * C<MMYY> (optional)

By default, this module will parse 12/10 as December 10th of the
current year (MM/DD).

If you want it to parse this as MM/YY instead, you can enable the
C<MMYY> option.

example:

 my $dt = DateTime::Format::Flexible->parse_datetime('12/10');
 # $dt is now [current year]-12-10T00:00:00

 my $dt = DateTime::Format::Flexible->parse_datetime(
     '12/10', MMYY => 1,
 );
 # $dt is now 2010-12-01T00:00:00

This is useful if you know you are going to be parsing a credit card
expiration date.

=back

=head2 base

gets/sets the base DateTime for incomplete dates.  Requires a valid
DateTime object as an argument when setting.  This defaults to
DateTime->now.

example:

 DateTime::Format::Flexible->base( DateTime->new(
     year => 2009, month => 6, day => 22
 ));
 my $dt = DateTime::Format::Flexible->parse_datetime( '23:59' );
 # $dt is now 2009-06-22T23:59:00

=head2 build

an alias for parse_datetime

=head2 Example formats

A small list of supported formats:

=over 4

=item YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS

=item YYYYMMDDTHHMM

=item YYYYMMDDTHH

=item YYYYMMDD

=item YYYYMM

=item MM-DD-YYYY

=item MM-D-YYYY

=item MM-DD-YY

=item M-DD-YY

=item YYYY/DD/MM

=item YYYY/M/DD

=item YYYY/MM/D

=item M-D

=item MM-D

=item M-D-Y

=item Month D, YYYY

=item Mon D, YYYY

=item Mon D, YYYY HH:MM:SS

=item ... thousands more

=back

there are 9000+ variations that are detected correctly in the test
files (see t/data/* for most of them).  If you can think of any that
I do not cover, please let me know.

=head1 NOTES

As of version 0.11 you will get a DateTime::Infinite::Future object
if the passed in date is 'infinity' and a DateTime::Infinite::Past
object if the passed in date is '-infinity'.  If you are expecting
these types of strings, you might want to check for
'is_infinite()' from the object returned.

example:

 my $dt = DateTime::Format::Flexible->parse_datetime( 'infinity' );
 if ( $dt->is_infinite )
 {
      # you have a Infinite object.
 }

=head1 BUGS/LIMITATIONS

You cannot use a 1 or 2 digit year as the first field unless the
year is > 31:

 YY-MM-DD # not supported if YY is <= 31
 Y-MM-DD  # not supported

It gets confused with MM-DD-YY
