NAME WebService::TimeAndDateCom::NewYearsCountdown - obtain count downs until New Years from www.timeanddate.com SYNOPSIS use WebService::TimeAndDateCom::NewYearsCountdown; my $hny = WebService::TimeAndDateCom::NewYearsCountdown->new; my $data = $hny->hny('EST') or die $hny->error; printf "%s left until New Year in %s (%s, [%s])\n", @$data{qw/time_left tz countries cities/}; my $all_timezones_data = $hny->hny or die $hny->error; for ( @$all_timezones_data ) { printf "%s left until New Year in %s (%s, [%s])\n", @$_{qw/time_left tz countries cities/}; } DESCRIPTION Module obtains count downs until New Years from www.timeanddate.com. NOTICE TO THE USER It's worth noting that www.timeanddate.com has this message at the top of its HTML code: scripts and programs that download content transparent to the user are not allowed without permission ...I'm not 100% sure about its meaning. METHODS "new" my $hny = WebService::TimeAndDateCom::NewYearsCountdown->new; Constructs and returns a new "WebService::TimeAndDateCom::NewYearsCountdown" object. Does not take any arguments. "hny" my $all_timezones_data = $hny->hny or die $hny->error; my $data = $hny->hny('EST') or die $hny->error; "hny" stands for Happy New Year. Takes one optional argument, which is the time zone for which to retrieve the data; valid time zones are listed below. On failure returns an "undef" or an empty list, depending on the context, and the reason for error will be available using the "->error" method. On success returns New Years countdown data. If the time zone is specified, returns a single hashref for that time zone, otherwise returns an arrayref of hashrefs of data for each time zone. The format of the hashrefs is as follows: { 'tz' => 'EST', 'time_left' => '4 days, 02:10:04', 'countries' => 'regions of U.S.A., regions of Canada and 12 more', 'cities' => 'New York, Washington DC, Detroit, Havana' } * "tz" time zone code * "time_left" time until New Years in that time zone * "countries" a brief list of regions/countries in that time zone * "cities" a brief list of cities in that time zone Valid Time Zones Values For "->hny" ACDT ACST AEDT AEST AFT AKST ANAT ART AST AoE BOT BRST BST CET CHADT CST CST CVT CWST EET EST GMT HAST IRST IST JST LINT MART MMT MSK MST NFT NPT NST NUT NZDT PST UZT UTC VET WIB "error" my $all_timezones_data = $hny->hny or die $hny->error; Takes no arguments. Returns the human-readable error message, when the last call to "->hny" fails.
