NAME

JSCalendar::Duration - Convert seconds to JSCalendar durations and back

VERSION

version 0.004

SYNOPSIS

use JSCalendar::Duration qw(
  seconds_to_duration
  duration_to_seconds
);

# 104403.1
my $seconds = duration_to_seconds("P1DT5H3.1S");

# P1D
my $duration = seconds_to_duration('86400');

DESCRIPTION

This module converts between a duration of time as specified by seconds and a JSCalendar duration (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-calext-jscalendar-00#section-3.2.3).

PERL VERSION

This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. This means it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to three years. (That is, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

EXPORTS
