Perl Folks, I need to call a JSON web service with dates. The web service uses this format which I hear is a fairly well used JSON date format. (Note: ISO 8601 is now the preferred format).
'/Date(1392233750000-0600)/' What I want to do is to pass DateTime objects to and from the Perl API and have it seamlessly translate to and from this milliseconds from epoch format. Issues: - I don't see a DateTime formatter that supports this format. Maybe, I just don't know the name of the format. But, I was expecting to find DateTime::Format::JSON::Epoch or something similar. - I did not see an easy way to use JSON::PP mapping to map objects to strings and back. I'd hate to have to go through every value searching for strings that matched /Date()/ and convert them to DateTime format. It's would be easy on the send side as I already have hooks in my code. Has anyone does this kind of thing before? I've searched but found nothing on the 'Net related to Perl. Thanks, Mike _______________________________________________ Houston mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/houston Website: http://houston.pm.org/
