Description: Perl5 modules for common date and time manipulation
The libdatemanip-perl package (which corresponds to the CPAN package
DateManip) provides Perl modules designed to make any common date/time
manipulation easy to do. Operations such as comparing two times,
calculating a time a given amount of time from another, or parsing
international times are all easily done. From the very beginning, the main
focus of Date::Manip has been to be able to do ANY desired date/time
operation easily, not necessarily quickly. There are other modules that
can do a small subset of the operations available in Date::Manip much
quicker than those presented here, so if speed is a primary issue, you
should look elsewhere. Check out the CPAN listing of Time and Date
modules. But for sheer flexibility, I believe that Date::Manip is your
best bet.
