NAME
    Time::Timestamp - Perl extension the easy manipulation of timestamps
    (subclass of datetime)

SYNOPSIS
      use Time::Timestamp;
      my $t = Time::Timestamp->new(ts => time) or Time::Timestamp->new(ts => $strTime,time_zone => 'local');
      print $t->tsIso()."\n";
      print $->eepoch()."\n";

      $t->set_time_zone('local');
      $t->set_time_zone('America/New_York');
      $t->set_time_zone('UTC');

DESCRIPTION
    This takes the best of DateTime / HTTP::Date and mixes them together.
    HTTP::Date has some great date parsing capability, so we use that to
    translate most any time format and store it as a DateTime obj.
    Everything is calculated and stored as eepoch, so local timezone won't
    be an issue util you need to translate.

OBJECT ORIENTED METHODS
  new()
    Object Constructor. Uses HTTP::Date to parse date strings.

    Accepts:

      ts => [int|string], defaults to time()
      time_zone => [int|string], defaults to 'UTC' (hint, using time_zone => 'local' is a good thing, then use the epoch() for saving ;-))

  tsIso()
    This returns the ts in ISO format 'yyyy-dd-mm hh:mm:ss'. When passed a
    timezone string, it will return the translated time for that zone.

      $t->tsIso('UTC'); returns tsIso() for UTC.
      $t->tsIso('America/New_York'); returns tsIso for that timezone (same with 'local');
      $t->tsIso() will return a value for the stored timezone

    The timezone of the Time::Timestamp object is changed for a moment to
    accomplish the translation, but is returned before the value is
    returned.

  tsIsoShort()
    Returns the ts in ISO shorthand format 'yyyyddmmhhmmss'. Good for serial
    revisioning. When passed a timezone string, it will return the
    translated time for that zone.

      $t->tsIsoShort('UTC'); returns tsIso() for UTC.
      $t->tsIsoShort('America/New_York'); returns tsIso for that timezone (same with 'local');
      $t->tsIsoShort() will return a value for the stored timezone

    The timezone of the Time::Timestamp object is changed for a moment to
    accomplish the translation, but is returned before the value is
    returned.

PROCEDURAL METHODS
  normalize()
    Returns the eepoch version of your string (interface to
    HTTP::Date::str2time)

      my $t = Time::Timetamp::normalize($strTime,$TZ);
