=head1 NAME

DateTime::Format::Strptime - Parse and format strp and strf time patterns

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use DateTime::Format::Strptime;

  my $Strp = new DateTime::Format::Strptime(
  				pattern     => '%T',
  				locale      => 'en_AU',
  				time_zone   => 'Australia/Melbourne',
  			);

  my $dt = $Strp->parse_datetime('23:16:42');

  $Strp->format_datetime($dt);
	# 23:16:42



  # Croak when things go wrong:
  my $Strp = new DateTime::Format::Strptime(
  				pattern 	=> '%T',
  				locale	    => 'en_AU',
  				time_zone	=> 'Australia/Melbourne',
  				on_error	=> 'croak',
  			);

  $newpattern = $Strp->pattern('%Q');
  # Unidentified token in pattern: %Q in %Q at line 34 of script.pl

  # Do something else when things go wrong:
  my $Strp = new DateTime::Format::Strptime(
  				pattern 	=> '%T',
  				locale	    => 'en_AU',
  				time_zone	=> 'Australia/Melbourne',
  				on_error	=> \&phone_police,
  			);



=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module implements most of C<strptime(3)>, the POSIX function that
is the reverse of C<strftime(3)>, for C<DateTime>. While C<strftime>
takes a C<DateTime> and a pattern and returns a string, C<strptime> takes
a string and a pattern and returns the C<DateTime> object
associated.

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

=over 4

=item * new( pattern=>$strptime_pattern )

Creates the format object. You must specify a pattern, you can also
specify a C<time_zone> and a C<locale>. If you specify a time zone
then any resulting C<DateTime> object will be in that time zone. If you
do not specify a C<time_zone> parameter, but there is a time zone in the
string you pass to C<parse_datetime>, then the resulting C<DateTime> will
use that time zone.

You can optionally use an on_error parameter. This parameter has three
valid options:

=over 4

=item * 'undef'

(not undef, 'undef', it's a string not an undefined value)

This is the default behavior. The module will return undef whenever it
gets upset. The error can be accessed using the $object->errstr method.
This is the ideal behaviour for interactive use where a user might
provide an illegal pattern or a date that doesn't match the pattern.

=item * 'croak'

(not croak, 'croak', it's a string, not a function)

This used to be the default behaviour. The module will croak with an
error message whenever it gets upset.

=item * sub{...} or \&subname

When given a code ref, the module will call that sub when it gets upset.
The sub receives two parameters: the object and the error message. Using
these two it is possible to emulate the 'undef' behavior. (Returning a
true value causes the method to return undef. Returning a false value
causes the method to bravely continue):

sub{$_[0]->{errmsg} = $_[1]; 1},

=back

=back

=head1 METHODS

This class offers the following methods.

=over 4

=item * parse_datetime($string)

Given a string in the pattern specified in the constructor, this method
will return a new C<DateTime> object.

If given a string that doesn't match the pattern, the formatter will
croak or return undef, depending on the setting of on_error in the constructor.

=item * format_datetime($datetime)

Given a C<DateTime> object, this methods returns a string formatted in
the object's format. This method is synonymous with C<DateTime>'s
strftime method.

=item * locale($locale)

When given a locale, this method sets its locale appropriately. If
the locale is not understood, the method will croak or return undef
(depending on the setting of on_error in the constructor)

If successful this method returns the current locale. (After
processing as above).

=item * pattern($strptime_pattern)

When given a pattern, this method sets the object's pattern. If the
pattern is invalid, the method will croak or return undef (depending on
the value of the C<on_error> parameter)

If successful this method returns the current pattern. (After processing
as above)

=item * time_zone($time_zone)

When given a name, offset or C<DateTime::TimeZone> object, this method
sets the object's time zone. This effects the C<DateTime> object
returned by parse_datetime

If the time zone is invalid, the method will croak or return undef
(depending on the value of the C<on_error> parameter)

If successful this method returns the current time zone. (After processing
as above)

=item * errmsg

If the on_error behavior of the object is 'undef', error messages with
this method so you can work out why things went wrong.

This code emulates a C<$DateTime::Format::Strptime> with
the C<on_error> parameter equal to C<'croak'>:

C<$Strp->pattern($pattern) or die $DateTime::Format::Strptime::errmsg>

=back

=head1 EXPORTS

There are no methods exported by default, however the following are
available:

=over 4

=item * strptime($strptime_pattern, $string)

Given a pattern and a string this function will return a new C<DateTime>
object.

=item * strftime($strftime_pattern, $datetime)

Given a pattern and a C<DateTime> object this function will return a
formatted string.

=back

=head1 STRPTIME PATTERN TOKENS

The following tokens are allowed in the pattern string for strptime
(parse_datetime):

=over 4

=item * %%

The % character.

=item * %a or %A

The weekday name according to the current locale, in abbreviated form or
the full name.

=item * %b or %B or %h
