This software enables the formatting and parsing of DateTime::Durations with ease.
One feature that stands out is the ability to format and parse DateTime::Duration objects with ease. You can create a new instance of the DateTime::Format::Duration class with a specific pattern to control how the duration is formatted. For example, you can create a pattern for years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. The format_duration() function then formats the duration according to the specified pattern.
Another useful feature of this module is the ability to parse a duration string and return a DateTime::Duration object. This is accomplished using the parse_duration() function. Once you have a DateTime::Duration object, you can manipulate it as needed.
There are also two additional functions for formatting durations: format_duration_from_deltas() and parse_duration_as_deltas(). The first function accepts individual deltas (years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds) and formats them according to the specified pattern. The second function parses a duration string and returns a hash of deltas.
Overall, DateTime::Format::Duration is a great module that simplifies working with durations in Perl. Its features are versatile and it is intuitive enough for beginners. If you need to handle durations regularly, this module can be a valuable asset to your workflow.
