=head1 NAME
DateTime::Infinite - Infinite past and future DateTime objects
=head1 VERSION
version 1.66
=head1 SYNOPSIS
  my $future = DateTime::Infinite::Future->new;
  my $past   = DateTime::Infinite::Past->new;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides two L<DateTime> subclasses, C<DateTime::Infinite::Future>
and C<DateTime::Infinite::Past>.
The objects are always in the "floating" timezone, and this cannot be changed.
=head1 METHODS
The only constructor for these two classes is the C<new> method, as shown in
the L</SYNOPSIS>. This method takes no parameters.
All "get" methods in this module simply return infinity, positive or negative.
If the method is expected to return a string, it returns the string
representation of positive or negative infinity used by your system. For
example, on my system calling C<< $dt->year >>> returns a number which when
printed appears either "Inf" or "-Inf".
This also applies to methods that are compound stringifications, which return
the same strings even for things like C<< $dt->ymd >> or C<< $dt->iso8601 >>
The object is not mutable, so the C<< $dt->set >>, C<< $dt->set_time_zone >>,
and C<< $dt->truncate >> methods are all do-nothing methods that simply return
the object they are called with.
Obviously, the C<< $dt->is_finite >> method returns false and the C<<
$dt->is_infinite >> method returns true.

=head1 BUGS
There seem to be lots of problems when dealing with infinite numbers on Win32.
This may be a problem with this code, Perl, or Win32's IEEE math
implementation. Either way, the module may not be well-behaved on Win32
operating systems.
Bugs may be submitted at L<https://github.com/houseabsolute/DateTime.pm/issues>.
There is a mailing list available for users of this distribution,
