VERSION

DESCRIPTION

ACME::CPANMODULES ENTRIES

DateTime::Format::Natural

Author: SCHUBIGER

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

Author: THINC

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

Author: ATOOMIC

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".

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

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, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
