NAME
Acme::CPANModules::Parse::HumanDate - Modules that parse human date/time
expression
VERSION
This document describes version 0.001 of
Acme::CPANModules::Parse::HumanDate (from Perl distribution
Acme-CPANModules-Parse-HumanDate), released on 2021-09-11.
DESCRIPTION
ACME::MODULES ENTRIES
* DateTime::Format::Natural
Compared to DateTime::Format::Flexible, this module can also parse
duration in addition to date/time, e.g.:
2 years 3 months
And it also can extract the date expression from a longer string.
Speed-wise, I'd say the two modules are roughly comparable. For some
patterns one might be faster than the other.
* DateTime::Format::Flexible
One advantage of this over DateTime::Format::Natural is its time
zone support, e.g.:
yesterday 8pm UTC
yesterday 20:00 +0800
yesterday 20:00 Asia/Jakarta
Speed-wise, I'd say the two modules are roughly comparable. For some
patterns one might be faster than the other.
* Date::Parse
This module can parse several formats, but does not really fall into
"human date/time parser" as it lacks support for casual expression
like "yesterday" or 3 hours ago".

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional
steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to
me.
