DateTime::Format::Epoch::NTP - Convert DateTimes to/from NTP epoch seconds

SYNOPSIS

use DateTime::Format::Epoch::NTP;

my $dt = DateTime::Format::Epoch::NTP->parse_datetime( 3629861151 );
print $dt->datetime; # '2015-01-10T06:45:51'

my $formatter = DateTime::Format::Epoch::NTP->new();

DESCRIPTION

This module can convert a DateTime object (or any object that can be converted to a DateTime object) to the number of seconds since the NTP epoch.

The NTP epoch uses UTC; if you parse an NTP date your DateTime object will be using the UTC timezone.

METHODS

Most of the methods are the same as those in DateTime::Format::Epoch. The only difference is the constructor.

• new()

  Constructor of the formatter/parser object. It has no parameters.
