NAME
Number::Compare::Date - Like Number::Compare, but for epoch seconds
SYNOPSIS
use Number::Compare::Date;
my $y2k = Number::Compare::Date->new(">=2000-01-01");
if ($y2k->(time))
{ print "Run for the hills, the y2k bug's gonna eat you " }DESCRIPTION
A simple extension to Number::Compare that allows you to compare dates against numbers (which should be epoch seconds.) The value that is compared can either be epoch seconds:
my $perl583 = Number::Compare::Date->new("<1072915199");Or it can be anything Date::Parse can recognise:
my $perl583 = Number::Compare->new('<Wed, 31 Dec 2003 23:59:59');If you don't use a comparison operator (<, <=, >= or >), then the module will check if the date is equal.
See Date::Parse for more formats.
