DateTime::Natural::Parse - Create machine readable date/time with natural parsing logic
use DateTime::Natural::Parse qw(natural_parse);
$dt = natural_parse($date_string);
DateTime::Natural::Parse exports a function, natural_parse(), by default which takes a
string with a human readable date/time and creates a machine readable one by applying natural
parsing logic.
Creates a DateTime object from a human readable date/time string.
$dt = natural_parse($date_string);
$dt = natural_parse($date_string, { debug => 1 });
The options hash may contain the string 'debug' with a boolean value (0/1). Will output each token that is analysed with a trailing newline.
Returns a DateTime object.
Below are some examples of human readable date/time input:
