NAME

Acme::DateTime::Duration::Numeric - ActiveSupport equivalent to Perl numeric variables

SYNOPSIS

use Acme::DateTime::Duration::Numeric;

# equivalent to DateTime::Duration->new(months => 1, days => 5);
$duration = 1->month + 2->days;

# equivalent to DateTime->now->add(years => 2);
$datetime = 2->years->from_now;

# equivalent to DateTime->now->add(months => 4, years => 5);
$datetime = (4->months + 5->years)->from_now;

# equivalent to DateTime->now->subtract(days => 3);
$datetime = 3->days->ago;

DESCRIPTION

Acme::DateTime::Duration::Numeric is a module to add Time-related methods to core integer values by using constant overloading. Inspired by ActiveSupport (Rails) Core extensions to Numeric values.

BUGS

Using this module will turn off all Params::Validate validation since I couldn't figure out how to make the object bypass its checks against scalar data type in DateTime method calls.

Because it uses constant overloading, I'm not surprised there may be other modules breaking when this module is in use.
