=head1 NAME
WebGUI::DateTime - DateTime subclass with additional WebGUI methods
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# Create an object from a MySQL date/time in the UTC time zone
my $dt = WebGUI::DateTime->new("2006-11-06 21:12:45");
# Create an object from an epoch time in the UTC time zone
my $dt = WebGUI::DateTime->new(time);
# Create an object from a MySQL date/time in a specific time zone
my $dt = WebGUI::DateTime->new( mysql => "2006-11-06 21:12:45", time_zone => "America/Chicago" );
# Create an object from a hash of data
my $dt = WebGUI::DateTime->new( year => 2006, month => 11, day => 6 );
my $mysql = $dt->toMysql; # Make a MySQL date/time string
my $mysqlDate = $dt->toMysqlDate; # Make a MySQL date string
my $mysqlTime = $dt->toMysqlTime; # Make a MySQL time string
my $ical = $dt->toIcal; # Make an iCal date/time string
my $icalDate = $dt->toIcalDate; # Make an iCal date string
my $icalTime = $dt->toIcalTime; # Make an iCal time string
### See perldoc DateTime for additional methods ###
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module is intended as a drop-in replacement for Perl's DateTime module,
with additional methods for translating to and from MySQL Date/Time field
strings.
NOTE: This module replaces WebGUI::Session::DateTime, which has a problem
dealing with time zones.
=head1 METHODS
=cut
#######################################################################
=head2 new ( string )
Creates a new object from a MySQL Date/Time string in the format
"2006-11-06 21:12:45".
This string is assumed to be in the UTC time zone. If it is not, use the
"mysql" => string constructor, below.
=head2 new ( integer )
Creates a new object from an epoch time.
=head2 new ( "mysql" => string, "time_zone" => string )
Creates a new object from a MySQL Date/Time string that is in the specified
time zone
=head2 new ( hash )
Creates a new object from a hash of data passed directly to DateTime. See
perldoc DateTime for the proper keys to be used.
Note: Unless you specify a time_zone, your object will exist in a "floating"
time zone. It is best that you always specify a time zone, and use UTC before
doing date/time math.

Returns only the date portion in the format suitable for iCal. Does not adjust
time zone.

Returns a MySQL Date string. Any time data stored by this object will be
ignored. Is not adjusted for time zone.

=head2 _splitMysql ( string )
Class method that splits a MySQL Date/Time string into a hash to be passed into
DateTime
=cut

month => $m,
day => $d,
hour => $h,
minute => $n,
second => $s,
);

}
=head1 ABOUT TIME ZONES
It is best that all date/time math be done in the UTC time zone, because of such
wonderful things as "daylight savings time" and "leap seconds".
To this end, read the documentation for each method to find out if they
automatically convert their result into UTC.
