Time::Duration::Parse.3pm

NAME

Time::Duration::Parse - Parse string that represents time duration

SYNOPSIS

   use Time::Duration::Parse;
 
   my $seconds = parse_duration("2 minutes and 3 seconds"); # 123
 
 

DESCRIPTION

Time::Duration::Parse is a module to parse human readable duration strings like 2 minutes and 3 seconds to seconds.

It does the opposite of duration_exact function in Time::Duration and is roundtrip safe. So, the following is always true.

   use Time::Duration::Parse;
   use Time::Duration;
 
   my $seconds = int rand 100000;
   is( parse_duration(duration_exact($seconds)), $seconds );
 
 

FUNCTIONS

parse_duration

   $seconds = parse_duration($string);
 
 

Parses duration string and returns seconds. When it encounters an error in a given string, it dies an exception saying ``Unknown timespec: blah blah blah''. This function is exported by default.
