This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • durations* => array[str]

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)

parse_duration_using_td_parse(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

Parse duration string(s) using Time::Duration::Parse.

Examples:

  • Example #1:

    parse_duration_using_td_parse(durations => ["2 days 13 hours"]);

    Result:

    [
      200,
      "OK",
      [
        {
          module       => "Time::Duration::Parse",
          original     => "2 days 13 hours",
          is_parseable => 1,
          as_secs      => 219600,
        },
