NAME

Duration::Gregorian - durations relative to the Gregorian Calendar

SYNOPSIS

 # note: normally you get a Duration::Gregorian like this:
 use Date::Gregorian;
 my $duration = date("2001") - "2000";
 say $duration;   # "2000/P1Y" - ISO-8601 duration format

 # you can, however, explicitly create them like this:
 use Duration::Gregorian;
 my $duration = Duration::Gregorian.new("P1Y");# ISO-8601
 $duration = duration "P3Y1M3DT6H2M4S";  # ISO-8601

 $duration = duration "3Y 1M 3D 6h 2m 4s";
 $duration = duration $secs;  # secs

DESCRTIPTION

Duration::Gregorian represents durations against the Gregorian calendar as Perl 6 objects.

You can use the +, -, < and > operators as with native perl data types to manipulate these values, as well as add them to Date::Gregorian based objects.

Overview

Duration::Gregorian operations are divided into three broad categories:

Creating new Duration::Gregorian objects
Performing arithmetic with Duration::Gregorian objects, and possibly Date objects, particularly Date::Gregorian.
Extracting out parts of Duration::Gregorian objects, and expressing them as a single number of homogenous units.
