NAME

Astro::App::Satpass2::ParseTime::Date::Manip - Parse time for Astro::App::Satpass2 using Date::Manip

SYNOPSIS

 my $delegate = Astro::App::Satpass2::ParseTime::Date::Manip->delegate();

DETAILS

This class is simply a trampoline for Astro::App::Satpass2::ParseTime->new() to determine which Date::Manip class to use.

METHODS

This class supports the following public methods:

back_end

 $pt->back_end( 'Date::Manip::Date' );
 my $back_end = $pt->back_end();

This method is both accessor and mutator for the object's back end class name. This class must be a subclass of Date::Manip::Date.

delegate

 my $delegate = Astro::App::Satpass2::ParseTime::Date::Manip->delegate();

This static method returns the class that should be used based on which version of Date::Manip could be loaded. If "Date::Manip->VERSION()" returns a number less than 6, 'Astro::App::Satpass2::ParseTime::Date::Manip::v5' is returned. If it returns 6 or greater, 'Astro::App::Satpass2::ParseTime::Date::Manip::v6' is returned. If Date::Manip can not be loaded, "undef" is returned.

station

 $pt->station( $satpass2->station() );
 my $station = $pt->station();

This method is both accessor and mutator for the object's station attribute. This must be an Astro::Coord::ECI object, or "undef".

This attribute is used to set the back end's "location" config item. If the back end does not have this config item, the fact is ignored -- silently, with any luck.
