CLASS METHODS

error

Returns a message describing the last error that occurred.

european_dates [BOOL]

Get or set a boolean flag that determines how "xx/xx/xxxx" dates are parsed by the parse_date function. If set to a false-but-defined value, then such dates are parsed as "mm/dd/yyyy". If set to true, then theyre parsed as "dd/mm/yyyy". If set to undef, then the attribute resets to its initial value, which is determined as described below.

The initial value of this attribute is chosen based on the current locale as stored in DateTimes DefaultLocale setting. This initial value is looked up only once. Any subsequent changes to DateTimes DefaultLocale setting will be ignored until/unless this attribute is reset to undef.

time_zone [TZ]

Get or set the default time zone. This value is passed to DateTime->new(...) as the value of the time_zone parameter when parse_date() creates the DateTime object that it returns. The default value is "floating".
