Package: libdate-manip-perl (5.54-1)

a perl library for manipulating dates

This is a set of routines designed to make any common date/time manipulation easy to do. Operations such as comparing two times, calculating a time a given amount of time from another, or parsing international times are all easily done. From the very beginning, the main focus of Date::Manip has been to be able to do ANY desired date/time operation easily, not necessarily quickly. There are other modules that can do a small subset of the operations available in Date::Manip much quicker than those presented here, so if speed is a primary issue, you should look elsewhere.
