=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module creates regular expressions that can be used for parsing
dates and times. See L<Regexp::Common> for a general description of
how to use this interface.
Parsing dates is a dirty business. Dates are generally specified in
one of three possible orders: year/month/day, month/day/year, or
day/month/year. Years can be specified with four digits or with two
digits (with assumptions made about the century). Months can be
specified as one digit, two digits, as a spelled-out name, or as a
three-letter abbreviation. Day numbers can be one digit or two
digits, with limits depending on the month (and, in the case of
February, even the year). Also, different people use different
punctuation for separating the various elements.
A human can easily recognize that "October 21, 2005" and "21.10.05"
refer to the same date, but it's tricky to get a program to come to
the same conclusion. This module attempts to make it possible to do
so, with a minimum of difficulty.

=item *
If you know the exact format of the data to be matched, use one of the
specific, piecemeal pattern builders: C<tf> or C<strftime>.
=item *
If you are parsing RFC-2822 mail headers, use the C<mail> pattern.
=item *
If you are parsing informal American dates, use the C<american> pattern.
=item *
If there is some variability in your input data, use one of the
fuzzy-matching patterns in the C<dmy>, C<mdy>, or C<ymd> families.
=item *
If the data are wildly variable, such as raw user input, you should
probably give up and use L<Date::Manip> or L<Date::Parse>.
=back
Time values are generally much simpler to parse than date values.
Only one fuzzy pattern is provided, and it should suffice for most
needs.
=head1 Time::Format PATTERNS
The L<Time::Format> module uses simple, intuitive strings for
specifying date and time formats. You can use these patterns here as
well. See L<Time::Format> for details about its format specifiers.
I<Example:>
$str = 'Thu November 2, 2005';
$str =~ $RE{time}{tf}{-pat => 'Day Month d, yyyy'};
The patterns can contain more complex regexp expressions as well:
$str =~ $RE{time}{tf}{-pat => '(Weekday|Day) (Month|Mon) d, yyyy'};
Time zone matching (the C<tz> format code) attempts to adhere to RFC2822
and ISO8601 as much as possible. The following time zones are matched:
Z
UT UTC
+hh:mm -hh:mm
+hhmm -hhmm
+hh -hh
GMT EST EDT CST CDT MST MDT PST PDT
=head1 strftime PATTERNS
The POSIX C<strftime> function is a long-recognized standard for
formatting dates and times. This module supports most of C<stftime>'s
codes for matching; specifically, the C<aAbBcCDdeHIjmMnprRSTtuUVwWyxXYZ%>
codes. The C<%Z> format matches time zones in the same manner as
described above under L</Time::Format PATTERNS>.
Also, this module provides the following nonstandard codes:
C< %_d -> 1- or 2-digit day number (1-31)
C< %_H -> 1- or 2-digit hour (0-23)
C< %_I -> 1- or 2-digit hour (1-12)
C< %_m -> 1- or 2-digit month number (1-12)
C< %_M -> 1- or 2-digit minute (0-59)
I<Example:>
$str = 'Thu November 2, 2005';
$str =~ $RE{time}{strftime}{-pat => '%a %B %_d, %Y'};
The patterns can contain more complex regexp expressions as well:
$str =~ $RE{time}{strftime}{-pat => '(%A|%a)? (%B|%b) ?%_d, %Y'};
=head1 ISO-8601 DATE/TIME MATCHING
The C<$RE{time}{iso}> pattern will match most (all?) strings formatted
as recommended by ISO-8601. The canonical ISO-8601 form is:
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS
(where "C<T>" is a literal T character). The C<$RE{time}{iso}>
pattern will match this form, and some variants:
=over 4
=item *
The date separator character may be a hyphen, slash (C</>), period, or
empty string (omitted). The two date separators must match.
=item *
The time separator character may be a colon, a period, a space, or
empty string (omitted). The two time separators must match.
=item *
The date-time separator may be a C<T>, an underscore, a space, or
empty string (omitted).
=item *
Either the date or the time may be omitted. But at least one must be
there.
=item *
If the date is not omitted, all three of its components must be present.
=item *
If the time is not omitted, all three of its components must be present.
=back
=head1 RFC 2822 MATCHING
RFC 2822 specifies the format of date/time values in e-mail message
headers. In a nutshell, the format is:
dd Mon yyyy hh:mm:ss +zzzz
where C<dd> is the day of the month; C<Mon> is the abbreviated month
name (apparently always in English); C<yyyy> is the year; C<hh:mm:ss>
is the time; and C<+zzzz> is the time zone, generally specified as an
offset from GMT.
RFC 2822 requires that the weekday also be specified, but this module
ignores the weekday, as it is redundant and only supplied for human
readability.
RFC 2822 requires that older, obsolete date forms be allowed as well;
for example, alphanumeric time zone codes (e.g. EDT). This module's
C<mail> allows for these obsolete date forms. If you want to match
only the proper date forms recommended by RFC 2822, you can use the
C<MAIL> pattern instead.
In either case, C<mail> or C<MAIL>, the pattern generated is very
flexible about whitespace. The main differences are: with C<MAIL>,
two-digit years are not permitted, and the time zone must be four
digits preceded by a + or - sign.
=head1 INFORMAL AMERICAN MATCHING
People in North America, particularly in the United States, are fond
of specifying dates as "Month dd, yyyy", or sometimes with a two-digit
year and apostrophe: "Month dd, 'yy". The C<american> pattern matches
this style of date. It allows either a month name or abbreviation,
and is flexible with respect to commas and whitespace.
=head1 FUZZY PATTERN OVERVIEW
Fuzzy date patterns have the following properties in common:
=over
=item *
The pattern names consist of the letters C<y>, C<m>, and C<d>, each
optionally followed by a digit (C<2> for C<m> and C<d>; C<2>
or C<4> for C<y>).
=item *
If a C<y> is followed by a 2 or a 4, it must match that many digits.
=item *
If a C<y> has no trailing digit, it can match I<either> 2 or 4 digits,
trying 4 first.
=item *
If an C<m> is followed by a 2, then only two-digit matches for the
month are considered, and month names are not matched.
=item *
If an C<m> is not followed by a 2, then the month may be 1 or 2
digits, or a spelled-out name.
=item *
Just like for months, if a C<d> is followed by a 2, then only
two-digit matches for the day are considered.
=item *
Just like for months, if a C<d> has no trailing digit, then the day
may be 1 or 2 digits, and a 1-digit match may not have any adjacent
digits.
=item *
The uppercase C<DMY>, C<MDY>, and C<YMD> patterns are synonyms for the
strict C<d2m2y4>, C<m2d2y4>, and C<y4m2d2> patterns, respectively.
=item *
If a one-digit match is considered for the month, then no adjacent
digits are allowed. (e.g.: "1/23/45" in M/D/Y format has a valid
one-digit month match, but "12345" does not. Nor does "91/23/45").
=item *
If a pattern begins with an digitless C<d>, C<m>, or C<y>, then, in
the string to be matched, any leading digits will cause the pattern to
fail. For example: C<"012/23/45"> will I<not> match C<$RE{time}{mdy}>.
However, it I<will> match C<$RE{time}{m2d2y2}>. If you specify an
exact pattern by using C<m2> instead of C<m>, this module assumes you
know what you're doing.
=item *
Likewise, a pattern ending with a digitless C<d> or C<y> will not
match if there are trailing digits in the string.
=back
=head1 FUZZY PATTERN DETAILS
=head2 Year-Month-Day order
=over
=item $RE{time}{ymd}
"05/4/2" =~ $RE{time}{ymd};
"2005-APR-02" =~ $RE{time}{ymd};
This is the most flexible of the numeric-only year/month/day formats.
It matches a date of the form "year/month/day", where the year may be
2 or 4 digits; the month may be 1 or 2 digits or a spelled-out name or
name abbreviation, and the day may be 1 or 2 digits. The
year/month/day elements may be directly adjacent to each other, or may
be separated by a space, period, slash (C</>), or hyphen.
=item $RE{time}{y4md}
"2005/4/2" =~ $RE{time}{y4md};
"2005 APR 02" =~ $RE{time}{y4md};
This works as L<$RE{time}{ymd}>, except that the year is restricted to
be exactly 4 digits.
=item $RE{time}{y4m2d2}
"2005/04/02" =~ $RE{time}{y4m2d2};
This works as L<$RE{time}{ymd}>, except that the year is restricted to
be exactly 4 digits, and the month and day must be exactly 2 digits each.
=item $RE{time}{y2md}
"05/4/2" =~ $RE{time}{y2md};
"05.APR.02" =~ $RE{time}{y2md};
This works as L<$RE{time}{ymd}>, except that the year is restricted to
be exactly 2 digits.
=item $RE{time}{y2m2d2}
"05/04/02" =~ $RE{time}{y2m2d2};
This works as L<$RE{time}{ymd}>, except that the year is restricted to
be exactly 2 digits, and the month and day must be exactly 2 digits each.
=item $RE{time}{YMD}
"2005/04/02" =~ $RE{time}{YMD};
This is a shorthand for the "canonical" year/month/day format, C<y4m2d2>.
=back
=head2 Month-Day-Year (American) order
=over
=item $RE{time}{mdy}
=item $RE{time}{mdy4}
=item $RE{time}{m2d2y4}
=item $RE{time}{mdy2}
=item $RE{time}{m2d2y2}
=item $RE{time}{MDY}
These patterns function as the equivalent year/month/day patterns,
above; the only difference is the order of the elements. C<MDY> is a
synonym for C<m2d2y4>.
=back
=head2 Day-Month-Year (European) order
=over
=item $RE{time}{dmy}
=item $RE{time}{dmy4}
=item $RE{time}{d2m2y4}
=item $RE{time}{dmy2}
=item $RE{time}{d2m2y2}
=item $RE{time}{DMY}
These patterns function as the equivalent year/month/day patterns,
above; the only difference is the order of the elements. C<DMY> is a
synonym for C<d2m2y4>.
=back
=head1 Time pattern (Hour-minute-second)
=over
=item $RE{time}{hms}
"10:06:12a" =~ /$RE{time}{hms}/;
"9:00 p.m." =~ /$RE{time}{hms}/;
Matches a time value in a string.
The hour must be in the range 0 to 24. The minute and second values
must be in the range 0 to 59, and must be two digits (i.e., they must
have leading zeroes if less than 10).
The hour, minute, and second components may be separated by colons
(C<:>), periods, or spaces.
The "seconds" value may be omitted.
The time may be followed by an "am/pm" indicator; that is, one of the
following values:
a am a.m. p pm p.m. A AM A.M. P PM P.M.
There may be a space between the time and the am/pm indicator.
=back
=head1 CAPTURES (-keep)
Under C<-keep>, the C<tf> and C<strftime> patterns capture the entire
match as C<$1>, plus one capture variable for each format specifier.
However, if your pattern contains any parentheses, C<tf> and
C<strftime> will I<not> capture anything additional beyond what you
specify, C<-keep> or not. In other words: if you use parentheses, you
are responsible for all capturing.
The C<iso> pattern captures:
C< $1 -> the entire match
C< $2 -> the year
C< $3 -> the month
C< $4 -> the day
C< $5 -> the hour
C< $6 -> the minute
C< $7 -> the second
The year, month, and day (C<$2>, C<$3>, and C<$4>) will be C<undef> if
the matched string contains only a time value (e.g., "12:34:56"). The
hour, minute, and second (C<$5>, C<$6>, and C<$7>) will be C<undef> if
the matched string contains only a date value (e.g., "2005-01-23").
The C<mail> and C<MAIL> patterns capture:
C< $1 -> the entire match
C< $2 -> the day
C< $3 -> the month
C< $4 -> the year
C< $5 -> the hour
C< $6 -> the minute
C< $7 -> the second
C< $8 -> the time zone
The C<american> pattern captures:
C< $1 -> the entire match
C< $2 -> the month
C< $3 -> the day
C< $4 -> the year
The fuzzy y/m/d patterns capture
C< $1 -> the entire match
C< $2 -> the year
C< $3 -> the month
C< $4 -> the day
The fuzzy m/d/y patterns capture
C< $1 -> the entire match
C< $2 -> the month
C< $3 -> the day
C< $4 -> the year
The fuzzy d/m/y patterns capture
C< $1 -> the entire match
C< $2 -> the day
C< $3 -> the month
C< $4 -> the year
The fuzzy h/m/s pattern captures
C< $1 -> the entire match
C< $2 -> the hour
C< $3 -> the minute
C< $4 -> the second (C<undef> if omitted)
C< $5 -> the am/pm indicator (C<undef> if omitted)

=head1 EXPORTS
This module exports no symbols to the caller's namespace.
=head1 SEE ALSO
It's not enough that the date regexps can match various formats. You
then have to parse those matched data values and translate them into
useful values. The L<Time::Normalize> module is highly recommended
for performing this repetitive, error-prone task.
=head1 REQUIREMENTS
Requires L<Regexp::Common>, of course.
If L<POSIX> and L<I18N::Langinfo> are available, this module will use
them; otherwise, it will use hardcoded English values for month and
weekday names.
L<Test::More> is required for the test suite.
