NAME
Time::Seconds - a simple API to convert seconds to other date values
SYNOPSIS
use Time::Piece; use Time::Seconds;
my $t = localtime; $t += ONE_DAY;
my $t2 = localtime; my $s = $t - $t2;
print "Difference is: ", $s->days, "\n";
DESCRIPTION
This module is part of the Time::Piece distribution. It allows the user to find out the number of minutes, hours, days, weeks or years in a given number of seconds. It is returned by Time::Piece when you delta two Time::Piece objects.
Time::Seconds also exports the following constants:
ONE_DAY ONE_WEEK ONE_HOUR ONE_MINUTE ONE_MONTH ONE_YEAR ONE_FINANCIAL_MONTH LEAP_YEAR NON_LEAP_YEAR
Since perl does not (yet?) support constant objects, these constants are in
seconds only, so you cannot, for example, do this: print ONE_WEEK->minutes;
METHODS
The following methods are available:
my $val = Time::Seconds->new(SECONDS)
$val->seconds;
$val->minutes;
$val->hours;
$val->days;
$val->weeks;
$val->months;
$val->financial_months; # 30 days
$val->years;The methods make the assumption that there are 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, 365.24225 days in a year and 12 months in a year. (from The Calendar FAQ at http://www.tondering.dk/claus/calendar.html)

Bugs
Currently the methods aren't as efficient as they could be, for reasons of clarity. This is probably a bad idea.
