NAME
Set::Crontab - Expand crontab(5)-style integer lists
SYNOPSIS
$s = Set::Crontab->new("1-9/3,>15,>30,!23", [0..30]);
if ($s->contains(3)) { ... }
DESCRIPTION
Set::Crontab parses crontab-style lists of integers and defines
some utility functions to make it easier to deal with them.
Syntax
Numbers, ranges, *, and step values all work exactly as described
in the crontab(5) manpage. A few extensions to the standard syntax
are described below.
< and >
<N selects the elements smaller than N from the entire range,
and adds them to the set. >N does likewise for elements larger
than N.
!
!N excludes N from the set. It applies to the other specified
range; otherwise it applies to the specified ranges (i.e. "!3"
with a range of "1-10" corresponds to "1-2,4-10", but ">3,!7" in
the same range means "4-6,8-10").
Functions
new($spec, [@range])
Creates a new Set::Crontab object and returns a reference to it.
contains($num)
Returns true if `$num' exists in the set.
list()
Returns the expanded list corresponding to the set.
The functions described above croak if they are called with
incorrect arguments.
