SYNOPSIS

use Time::Business;

my $btime = Time::Business->new({
		WORKDAYS  => [1,2,3,4,5],
		STARTTIME => '9:00',
		STOPTIME  => '17:00',
	});

$begin=time();
$end=time()+86400;
$seconds = $btime->calctime($begin,$end);

DESCRIPTION

Calculates the number of business seconds between two dates (specified in epoch seconds) given a list of working days and start and end times.

METHODS

new({....})

Setup a Time::Business object, passing the working time parameters. eg.

my $btime = Time::Business->new({
 		WORKDAYS  => [1,2,3,4,5],
 		STARTTIME => '9:00',
 		STOPTIME  => '17:00',
 	});

where WORKDAYS is specified as a list of 0..6 where Sun is 0 and Sat is 6.

duration($begin,$end) - Return number of business seconds.

Returns the number of business seconds between $begin and $end (seconds since epoch) given the parameters specified in the Time::Business->new.

workTimeString($seconds) - Convert seconds to human readable work time.

Converts the $seconds given to a string of the form "n days n hours n minutes". NOTE: This conversion is based on business hours so one day is one working day, not one 24 hour day. Useful for reports etc.
