       This module is maintained by Gregory Todd Williams <gwilliams@cpan.org>.  It was  originally  created  by
       Kellan Elliott-McCrea <kellan@protest.net>.

       This module was inspired by DateTime::Format::ICal

       This module understands the W3CDTF date/time format, an ISO 8601 profile, defined at
       http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime.  This format as the native date format of RSS 1.0.

       It can be used to parse these formats in order to create the appropriate objects.

       This API is currently experimental and may change in the future.

       •   new()

           Returns a new W3CDTF parser object.  Accepts a single "strict" option:

             DateTime::Format::W3CDTF->new(strict => 1);

           If true, parse_datetime() and format_datetime() will only accept and return strings in W3CDTF format,
           respectively.  In particular, the W3CDTF format requires all time components to have timezones.

           If false, timezones are optional.

       •   parse_datetime($string)

           Given a W3CDTF datetime string, this method will return a new "DateTime" object.

           If given an improperly formatted string, this method may die.

       •   format_datetime($datetime)

           Given a "DateTime" object, this methods returns a W3CDTF datetime string.

           NOTE:  As  of  version  0.4,  format_datetime no longer attempts to truncate datetimes without a time
           component.  This is due to the fact that "DateTime" doesn't distinguish between a date with  no  time
           component, and midnight.

       •   format_date($datetime)

           Given a "DateTime" object, return a W3CDTF datetime string without the time component.
