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 function in Time::Duration and
18       is roundtrip safe. So, the following is always true.
19
20         use Time::Duration::Parse;
21         use Time::Duration;
22
23         my $seconds = int rand 100000;
24         is( parse_duration(duration_exact($seconds)), $seconds );
25

FUNCTIONS

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