BSON::Timestamp - BSON type wrapper for timestamps

version v1.12.2

    use BSON::Types ':all';
    bson_timestamp( $seconds );
    bson_timestamp( $seconds, $increment );

This module provides a BSON type wrapper for a BSON timestamp value.

Generally, it should not be used by end-users, but is provided for backwards compatibility.

A value representing seconds since the Unix epoch. The default is current value of "time()".

A numeric value to disambiguate timestamps in the same second. The default is 0.

TO_JSON

If the "BSON_EXTJSON" option is true, returns a hashref compatible with MongoDB's extended JSON <https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/extended-json.rst> format, which represents it as a document as follows:

    {"$timestamp" : { "t":<seconds>, "i":<increment> }}

If the "BSON_EXTJSON" option is false, an error is thrown, as this value can't otherwise be represented in JSON.
