NAME

DateTime::Posix - Provides a DateTime object that returns posix values with fractional seconds

Note this module's routines have been incorporated into core Raku version 6.e.

SYNOPSIS

use DateTimePosixReal;
my $dt = DateTime::Posix.new: '1970-01-01T00:00:00.23Z';
say $dt.Posix;      # OUTPUT: «0.23␤»
say $dt.posix-real; # OUTPUT: «0.23␤»

DESCRIPTION

DateTime::Posix is a child class of Raku's DateTime class that returns 'posix' values as fractional instead of integral seconds.

The module has two methods with slightly different names to allow some user flexibility:

method Posix($in-timezone? --> Real:D) {...}

and

method posix-real($in-timezone? --> Real:D) {...}

This module will be deprecated when Raku version 6.e is released since that version will provide the same capability for the DateTime base class as its 'posix' method will then return fractional rather than integral seconds.
