17 This package uses the Date::Manip package to add an XQL node type
18 (called XML::XQL::Date) that can be used to represent dates and times.
19 The Date::Manip package can parse almost any date or time format imag‐
20 inable. (I tested it with Date::Manip 5.33 and I know for sure that it
21 doesn't work with 5.20 or lower.)
22
23 It also adds the XQL date function which creates an XML::XQL::Date
24 object from a string. See XML::XQL::Tutorial for a description of the
25 date() function.
26
27 You can plug in your own Date type, if you don't want to use
28 Date::Manip
29 for some reason. See XML::XQL and the XML::XQL::Date source file for
30 more details.
