NAME

6       Time::Duration::Parse - Parse string that represents time duration
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use Time::Duration::Parse;
10
11         my $seconds = parse_duration("2 minutes and 3 seconds"); # 123
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Time::Duration::Parse is a module to parse human readable duration
15       strings like 2 minutes and 3 seconds to seconds.
16
17       It does the opposite of "duration_exact" in Time::Duration function in
18       Time::Duration and is roundtrip safe.  So, the following is always
19       true.
20
21         use Time::Duration::Parse;
22         use Time::Duration;
23
24         my $seconds = int rand 100000;
25         is( parse_duration(duration_exact($seconds)), $seconds );
26

FUNCTIONS

28       parse_duration
29             $seconds = parse_duration($string);
30
31           Parses duration string and returns seconds.  When it encounters an
32           error in a given string, it dies with an exception saying "Unknown
33           timespec: blah blah blah".  This function is exported by default.
34

SEE ALSO

36       Time::Duration::Parse::More has the same interface as this module, but
37       supports more expressions and memoization.
38
39       Time::Duration can be used for the reverse of this module: given a
40       number of seconds it will provide an English description of the
41       duration.
42
43       Time::Duration::Object provides an OO interface to Time::Duration.
44
45       Time::Duration::LocaleObject provides an OO interface to the
46       "Time::Duration::??" modules, which provide language-specific versions
47       of Time::Duration.
48
49       DateTime::Format::Duration can be used to parse natural language
50       descriptions of durations, returning an instance of DateTime::Duration,
51       which can then be converted to seconds using the "in_units()" method.
