Time::Moment is an immutable object representing a date and time of day with an offset from UTC in the ISO 8601 calendar system.
Time is measured in nanoseconds since 1970-01-01T00Z. In Time:Moment leap seconds are ignored. It is assumed that there are exactly 86,400,000,000 nanoseconds per day. Time::Moment can represent all epoch integers from -62,135,596,800 to 2,534,02,300,799; this range suffices to measure times to nanosecond precision for any instant that is within 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z to 9999-12-31T23:59:59Z.
CONSTRUCTORS
new
$tm = Time::Moment->new(
year => 2012,
month => 12,
day => 24,
hour => 15,
minute => 30,
second => 45,
nanosecond => 123456789,
offset => 0,
);Constructs an instance of Time::Moment from the given components.
Parameters:
- year
-
The year [1, 9999].
- month
-
The month of the year [1, 12].
- day
-
The day of the month [1, 31]. The day must be valid for the year and month, otherwise an exception is raised.
- hour
-
The hour of the day [0, 23].
- minute
-
The minute of the hour [0, 59].
- second
-
The second of the minute [0, 59].
- nanosecond
-
The nanosecond of the second [0, 999_999_999].
- offset
-
The time zone offset from UTC in minutes [-1080, 1080].
now
$tm = Time::Moment->now;Constructs an instance of Time::Moment that is set to the current date and time from the system clock in the system time zone, with the offset set to the system's time zone offset from UTC.
now_utc
$tm = Time::Moment->now_utc;Constructs an instance of Time::Moment that is set to the current date and time from the system clock in the UTC time zone.
from_epoch
$tm = Time::Moment->from_epoch($seconds);
$tm = Time::Moment->from_epoch($seconds, $nanosecond);Constructs an instance of Time::Moment from the given seconds from the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. The optional parameter nanosecond specifies the nanosecond of the second [0, 999_999_999].
Fractional seconds is supported if the constructor is invoked with seconds only:
$tm = Time::Moment->from_epoch(0.123456); # 1970-01-01T00:00:00.123456Zfrom_object
$tm = Time::Moment->from_object($object);Constructs an instance of Time::Moment from the given object. If the given object is an instance of Time::Moment it's returned otherwise an attempt is made to coerce the given object to an instance of Time::Moment.
Time::Moment implements coercion handlers for the following object types:
- DateTime
-
$tm = Time::Moment->from_object( DateTime->now );The given
DateTimeobject must be within the supported date range and must have a time zone or a time zone offset from UTC, coercing from the 'floating' time zone is not supported. - Time::Piece
-
$tm = Time::Moment->from_object( scalar Time::Piece::localtime() );The given
Time::Pieceobject must be within the supported date range.
The coercion scheme is extensible and implemented as documented in Params::Coerce:
$tm = Params::Coerce::coerce('Time::Moment', scalar Time::Piece::localtime());
$tm = Params::Coerce::coerce('Time::Moment', DateTime->now);Time::Moment also implements a coercion handler from Time::Moment to DateTime:
$dt = Params::Coerce::coerce('DateTime', Time::Moment->now);from_string
$tm = Time::Moment->from_string($string);
$tm = Time::Moment->from_string($string [, lenient => false]);Constructs an instance of Time::Moment from the given string. The string must consist of a complete date representation and time of day followed by a time zone designator. The time of day may be reduced to hour of the day, the second of the day may have a decimal fraction. The decimal sign can be either the comma [,] or the full stop [.]. A decimal fraction must have at least one digit and may have a total of nine digits, if the fractional precision is greater than nine digits, the value will be truncated.
The following are examples of complete date representations and time of day representations:

A single space is also accepted between the time of day and the zone designator if the time designator is replaced with a single space. The zone designator may be in basic format even though the calendar date and time of day is in extended format. The UTC designator [Z] may also be in lower case [z]. The literal string GMT or UTC may be used as a UTC designator and may have an offset. Usage of these string representations is strongly discouraged as they do not conform to the ISO 8601 standard.

%B-
Replaced by the C locale's full month name. Example: January, February, ..., December.
%c-
Replaced by the C locale's date and time representation. Equivalent to
"%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y". %C-
Replaced by the year divided by 100 and truncated to an integer, as a decimal number [00, 99].
%d-
Replaced by the day of the month as a decimal number [01, 31].
%D-
Equivalent to
"%m/%d/%y". %e-
Replaced by the day of the month as a decimal number [1, 31]; a single digit is preceded by a space.
%f-
Replaced by the fractional second including the preceding decimal point or by an empty string if no fractional seconds are present.

An instance of Time::Moment represents an unambiguous point in time, but it's not fully time zone aware. When performing arithmetic on the local date or time value or altering the components of the local date or time it may be necessary to use a time zone to convert to the correct representation.
Time::Moment is API compatible with DateTime::TimeZone and DateTime::TimeZone::Tzfile.
Converting from UTC to designated time zone
$tm = Time::Moment->now;
$zone = DateTime::TimeZone->new(name => 'America/New_York');
$offset = int($zone->offset_for_datetime($tm) / 60);
say $tm->with_offset_same_instant($offset);Converting from local time to designated time zone
$tm = Time::Moment->now;
$zone = DateTime::TimeZone->new(name => 'America/New_York');
$offset = int($zone->offset_for_local_datetime($tm) / 60);
say $tm->with_offset_same_local($offset);The Effect of Daylight Saving Time
The time zone Europe/Brussels has 01:00 UTC as standard time, and 02:00 UTC as daylight savings time, with transition dates according to the European Summer Time.
$zone = DateTime::TimeZone->new(name => 'Europe/Brussels');
sub convert_from_utc {
my ($tm, $zone) = @_;
my $offset = int($zone->offset_for_datetime($tm) / 60);
return $tm->with_offset_same_instant($offset);
}
sub convert_from_local {
my ($tm, $zone) = @_;
my $offset = int($zone->offset_for_local_datetime($tm) / 60);
return $tm->with_offset_same_local($offset);
}European Summer Time begins (clocks go forward) at 01:00 UTC on the last Sunday in March, in 2014 the transition date is March 30.
$tm1 = Time::Moment->from_string('2014-03-29T12:00:00+01:00');
$tm2 = $tm1->plus_hours(24);
say convert_from_utc($tm2, $zone); # 2014-03-30T13:00:00+02:00
say convert_from_local($tm2, $zone); # 2014-03-30T12:00:00+02:00During the transition from standard time to daylight savings time, the local time interval between 02:00:00 and 02:59:59 does not exist. Local time values in that interval are invalid. DateTime::TimeZone raises an exception when attempting to convert non-existing local time.
$tm1 = Time::Moment->from_string('2014-03-29T22:00:00+01:00');
$tm2 = $tm1->plus_hours(4);
say convert_from_utc($tm2, $zone); # 2014-03-30T03:00:00+02:00
say convert_from_local($tm2, $zone); # raises an exceptionEuropean Summer Time ends (clocks go backward) at 01:00 UTC on the last Sunday in October, in 2014 the transition date is October 26.
$tm1 = Time::Moment->from_string('2014-10-25T12:00:00+02:00');
$tm2 = $tm1->plus_hours(24);
say convert_from_utc($tm2, $zone); # 2014-10-26T11:00:00+01:00
say convert_from_local($tm2, $zone); # 2014-10-26T12:00:00+01:00During the transition from daylight savings time to standard time, the local time interval between 02:00:00 and 02:59:59 is repeated. Local time values in that interval are ambiguous because they occur twice. When DateTime::TimeZone converts an ambiguous local time it returns the numerically lowest offset (usually the standard one).
$tm1 = Time::Moment->from_string('2014-10-25T22:00:00+02:00');
$tm2 = $tm1->plus_hours(4);
say convert_from_utc($tm2, $zone); # 2014-10-26T02:00:00+02:00
say convert_from_local($tm2, $zone); # 2014-10-26T02:00:00+01:00DIAGNOSTICS
