NAME Time::Business - Business Time Between Two Times SYNOPSIS use Time::Business; my $btime = Time::Business->new({ WORKDAYS=>[1,2,3,4,5], STARTIME=>900, ENDTIME=>1700, }) $start=time(); $end=time()+86400; $seconds = $btime->calctime($start,$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 $btime = Time::Business->new({ WORKDAYS=>[1,2,3,4,5], STARTIME=>'9:00', STOPTIME=>'17:00', }) where WORKDAYS is specified as a list of 0..6 where Sun is 0 and Sat is 6. duration($start,$end) - Return number of business seconds. Returns the number of business seconds between $start 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. SUPPORT AUTHOR David Peters CPAN ID: DAVIDP davidp@electronf.com http://www.electronf.com COPYRIGHT This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
