DateTime::Infinite(3pm)        User Contributed Perl Documentation        DateTime::Infinite(3pm)



NAME
       DateTime::Infinite - Infinite past and future DateTime objects

VERSION
       version 1.12

SYNOPSIS
         my $future = DateTime::Infinite::Future->new();
         my $past   = DateTime::Infinite::Past->new();

DESCRIPTION
       This module provides two DateTime.pm subclasses, "DateTime::Infinite::Future" and
       "DateTime::Infinite::Past".

       The objects are in the "floating" timezone, and this cannot be changed.

BUGS
       There seem to be lots of problems when dealing with infinite numbers on Win32. This may be
       a problem with this code, Perl, or Win32's IEEE math implementation. Either way, the
       module may not be well-behaved on Win32 operating systems.

METHODS
       The only constructor for these two classes is the "new()" method, as shown in the
       SYNOPSIS. This method takes no parameters.

       All "get" methods in this module simply return infinity, positive or negative. If the
       method is expected to return a string, it return the string representation of positive or
       negative infinity used by your system. For example, on my system calling "year()" returns
       a number which when printed appears either "inf" or "-inf".

       The object is not mutable, so the "set()", "set_time_zone()", and "truncate()" methods are
       all do-nothing methods that simply return the object they are called with.

       Obviously, the "is_finite()" method returns false and the "is_infinite()" method returns
       true.
