Rose::DateTime::Parser - DateTime parser object.

newPARAMS
           Constructs  a  new  Rose::DateTime::Parser object based on PARAMS, where PARAMS are name/value pairs.
           Any object method is a valid parameter name.

       Rose::DateTime::Parser encapsulates a particular kind of call to Rose::DateTime::Util's parse_date and
       parse_european_date functions.  The object maintains the desired time zone, which is then passed to each
       call.

       This class inherits from, and follows the conventions of, Rose::Object. See the Rose::Object
       documentation for more information.

       Rose::DateTime::Parser - DateTime parser object.

error[ERROR]
           Get or set the error message string.

       european[BOOL]
           Get or set a boolean value that controls how the parse_date method will interpret "xx/xx/xxxx" dates:
           either month/day/year or year/month/day.

           If  true,  then  the  parse_date  method  will   pass   its   arguments   to   Rose::DateTime::Util's
           parse_european_date function, which interprets such dates as "dd/mm/yyyy".

           If  false,  then the parse_date method will temporarily force non-European date parsing and then call
           Rose::DateTime::Util's parse_date function, which will interpret the date as "mm/dd/yyyy".

           This attribute defaults to the  value  returned  by  the  Rose::DateTime::Util->european_dates  class
           method called atthetimetheRose::DateTime::Parserobjectisconstructed.

           If the BOOL argument is undefined (instead of "false, but defined") then the attribute will return to
           its  default  value  by  calling  the  Rose::DateTime::Util->european_dates  class  method again.  To
           unambiguously set the attribute to true or false, pass a defined value like 1 or 0.

       parse_dateSTRING
           Attempt to parse STRING by passing it to  Rose::DateTime::Util's  parse_date  or  parse_european_date
           function.  The choice is controlled by the european attribute.

           If  parsing  is  successful,  the resulting DateTime object is returned.  Otherwise, error is set and
           false is returned.

       parse_datetimeSTRING
           This method is an alias for parse_date()parse_european_dateSTRING
           Attempt to  parse  STRING  by  passing  it  to  Rose::DateTime::Util's  parse_european_date  function
           (regardless  of  the  value  of  the   european  attribute).  If parsing is successful, the resulting
           DateTime object is returned.  Otherwise, error is set and false is returned.

       time_zone[STRING]
           Get or set the time zone string passed to Rose::DateTime::Util's parse_date  function.   Defaults  to
           the value returned by the Rose::DateTime::Util->time_zone class method.

         use Rose::DateTime::Parser;

         $parser = Rose::DateTime::Parser->new(time_zone => 'UTC');

         $dt = $parser->parse_date('4/30/2001 8am')
           or warn $parser->error;
