Xref: usenet.cise.ufl.edu comp.lang.perl.announce:98 comp.lang.perl.modules:1477 Time::Period is a module to deal with time periods. Currently, it only contains one item: a function called inPeriod(). This function takes a time (in seconds) and a period (as a string) and determines whether the time point falls within the time period, returning 1 if it does, 0 if not, and -1 if either the time or period were malformed. The period string is simple and intuitive. But is it also very flexible. The level of complexity of the period string is not limited. The current version is 1.10. It can be retrieved at "http://newhutch.fhcrc.org/Patrick/Period/". The distribution is called Period-1.10.tar.gz. Comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome. -Patrick -- =================================================== = Patrick Ryan [] PGP key in = = http://newhutch.fhcrc.org/Patrick [] web space! = ===================================================
