NAME

6       Time::Seconds - a simple API to convert seconds to other date values
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use Time::Piece;
10           use Time::Seconds;
11
12           my $t = localtime;
13           $t += ONE_DAY;
14
15           my $t2 = localtime;
16           my $s = $t - $t2;
17
18           print "Difference is: ", $s->days, "\n";
19

DESCRIPTION

21       This module is part of the Time::Piece distribution. It allows the user
22       to find out the number of minutes, hours, days, weeks or years in a
23       given number of seconds. It is returned by Time::Piece when you delta
24       two Time::Piece objects.
25
26       Time::Seconds also exports the following constants:
27
28           ONE_DAY
29           ONE_WEEK
30           ONE_HOUR
31           ONE_MINUTE
32           ONE_MONTH
33           ONE_YEAR
34           ONE_FINANCIAL_MONTH
35           LEAP_YEAR
36           NON_LEAP_YEAR
37
38       Since perl does not (yet?) support constant objects, these constants
39       are in seconds only, so you cannot, for example, do this: "print
40       ONE_WEEK->minutes;"
41

METHODS

43       The following methods are available:
44
45           my $val = Time::Seconds->new(SECONDS)
46           $val->seconds;
47           $val->minutes;
48           $val->hours;
49           $val->days;
50           $val->weeks;
51           $val->months;
52           $val->financial_months; # 30 days
53           $val->years;
54           $val->pretty; # gives English representation of the delta
55
56       The usual arithmetic (+,-,+=,-=) is also available on the objects.
57
58       The methods make the assumption that there are 24 hours in a day, 7
59       days in a week, 365.24225 days in a year and 12 months in a year.

Bugs

76       Currently the methods aren't as efficient as they could be, for reasons
77       of clarity. This is probably a bad idea.
