NAME Acme::CPANModules::Parse::HumanDate - Modules that parse human date/time expression VERSION This document describes version 0.001 of Acme::CPANModules::Parse::HumanDate (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-Parse-HumanDate), released on 2021-09-11. DESCRIPTION ACME::MODULES ENTRIES * DateTime::Format::Natural Compared to DateTime::Format::Flexible, this module can also parse duration in addition to date/time, e.g.: 2 years 3 months And it also can extract the date expression from a longer string. Speed-wise, I'd say the two modules are roughly comparable. For some patterns one might be faster than the other. * DateTime::Format::Flexible One advantage of this over DateTime::Format::Natural is its time zone support, e.g.: yesterday 8pm UTC yesterday 20:00 +0800 yesterday 20:00 Asia/Jakarta Speed-wise, I'd say the two modules are roughly comparable. For some patterns one might be faster than the other. * Date::Parse This module can parse several formats, but does not really fall into "human date/time parser" as it lacks support for casual expression like "yesterday" or 3 hours ago". FAQ What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module? An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more details. What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module? Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution): % cpanm-cpanmodules -n Parse::HumanDate Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules distribution): % cpanmodules ls-entries Parse::HumanDate | cpanm -n or Acme::CM::Get: % perl -MAcme::CM::Get=Parse::HumanDate -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n or directly: % perl -MAcme::CPANModules::Parse::HumanDate -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::Parse::HumanDate::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n This Acme::CPANModules module contains benchmark instructions. You can run a benchmark for some/all the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module using the bencher CLI (from Bencher distribution): % bencher --cpanmodules-module Parse::HumanDate This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful result for "lcpan related-mods" command when it comes to finding related modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules" are found. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at .

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via: % prove -l If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin.
