%description
Date::Manip is a series of modules designed to make any common date/time
operation easy to do. Operations such as comparing two times, determining a
date a given amount of time from another, or parsing international times
are all easily done. It deals with time as it is used in the Gregorian
calendar (the one currently in use) with full support for time changes due
to daylight saving time.

From the very beginning, the main focus of Date::Manip has been to be able
to do ANY desired date/time operation easily. Many other modules exist
which may do a subset of these operations quicker or more efficiently, but
no other module can do all of the operations available in Date::Manip.

Since many other date/time modules exist, some of which may do the specific
operation(s) you need faster, be sure to read Date::Manip::Misc/"SHOULD I
USE DATE::MANIP" before deciding which of the Date and Time modules from
CPAN is for you. However, if you want one module to do it all, Date::Manip
is the one to use.

Date::Manip has functionality to work with several fundamental types of
data.

* *dates*

The word date is used extensively here and is somewhat misleading. In
Date::Manip, a date consists of three pieces of information: a calendar
date, a time of day, and time zone information. Calendar dates and times
are fully handled. Time zones are handled as well, but depending on how you
use Date::Manip, there may be some limitations as discussed below.

* *delta*

A delta is an amount of time (i.e. the amount of time between two different
dates). A delta refers only to an amount of time. It includes no
information about a starting or ending date/time. Most people will think of
a delta as an amount of time, but the term 'time' is already used so much
in this module that I didn't want to use it here in order to avoid
confusion.

* *recurrence*

A recurring event is something which occurs on a regular recurring basis.

* *holidays* and *events*

Holidays and events are basically named dates or recurrences.

Among other things, Date::Manip allow you to:

* ***

Enter a date in practically any format you choose.

* ***

Compare two dates, entered in widely different formats to determine which
is earlier.

* ***

Extract any information you want from a date using a format string similar
to the Unix date command.

* ***

Determine the amount of time between two dates, or add an amount of time to
a date to get a second date.

* ***

Work with dates with dates using international formats (foreign month
names, 12/10/95 referring to October rather than December, etc.).

* ***

To find a list of dates where a recurring event happens.

Each of these tasks is trivial (one or two lines at most) with this
package.
