=over

All dates and times in this DTD follow the same format, loosely based
on ISO 8601.  They can be C<YYYYMMDDhhmmss> or some initial
substring, for example if you only know the year and month you can
have C<YYYYMM>.  You can also append a timezone to the end; if no
explicit timezone is given, UTC is assumed.  Examples:
S<C<200007281733 BST>>, C<200209>, S<C<19880523083000 +0300>>.
S<(BST == +0100.)>

=head1 METHODS

This class offers the following methods.

=over 4

=item * C<< parse_datetime($string) >>

=item * C<< parse_date($string) >>

=item * C<< parse_time($string) >>

These are 3 names for the same method.  Given a string containing an
XMLTV date, this method will return a new C<DateTime> object.  If no
time zone is specified in the string, UTC is assumed.

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

=item * C<< format_date($datetime) >>

Given a C<DateTime> object, this returns a string in C<YYYYMMDD> format.

=item * C<< format_time($datetime) >>

=item * C<< format_datetime($datetime) >>

Given a C<DateTime> object, this returns a string in
S<C<YYYYMMDDhhmmss +HHMM>> format (where C<+HHMM> is the time zone
offset).  C<format_time> is an alias for C<format_datetime>, because
XMLTV has no time-only format.
