Description
Time::Duration::Parse is a module to parse human readable duration strings like 2minutesand3seconds
to seconds.
It does the opposite of "duration_exact" in Time::Duration function in Time::Duration and is roundtrip
safe. So, the following is always true.
use Time::Duration::Parse;
use Time::Duration;
my $seconds = int rand 100000;
is( parse_duration(duration_exact($seconds)), $seconds );
Functions
parse_duration
$seconds = parse_duration($string);
Parses duration string and returns seconds. When it encounters an error in a given string, it dies
with an exception saying "Unknown timespec: blah blah blah". This function is exported by default.

Time::Duration::Parse::More has the same interface as this module, but supports more expressions and
memoization.
Time::Duration can be used for the reverse of this module: given a number of seconds it will provide an
English description of the duration.
Time::Duration::Object provides an OO interface to Time::Duration.
Time::Duration::LocaleObject provides an OO interface to the "Time::Duration::??" modules, which provide
language-specific versions of Time::Duration.
DateTime::Format::Duration can be used to parse natural language descriptions of durations, returning an
instance of DateTime::Duration, which can then be converted to seconds using the "in_units()" method.
Synopsis
use Time::Duration::Parse;
my $seconds = parse_duration("2 minutes and 3 seconds"); # 123
