SYNOPSIS

      use Time::Duration::Parse::AsHash;
    
      my $res = parse_duration("2 minutes and 3 seconds");    # => {minutes=>2, seconds=>3}
         $res = parse_duration("2 minutes and 3 seconds", 1); # => 123

DESCRIPTION

    Time::Duration::Parse::AsHash is like Time::Duration::Parse except:

      * By default it returns a hashref of parsed duration elements instead
      of number of seconds

      There are some circumstances when you want this, e.g. when feeding
      into DateTime::Duration and you want to count for leap seconds.

      To return number of seconds like Time::Duration::Parse, pass a true
      value as the second argument.

      * Seconds are not rounded by default

      For example: "0.1s" or 100ms will return result { seconds => 0.1 }.

      Also, in addition to 01:02:03 being recognized as 1h2min3s,
      01:02:03.4567 will also be recognized as 1h2min3.4567s.

      * Extra elements recognized

      milliseconds (or ms). This will be returned in seconds key.

      microseconds. This will also be returned in seconds key.

      nanoseconds (or ns). This will also be returned in seconds key.

      decades. This will be returned in years key.

      * It has a lower startup overhead

      By avoiding modules like Carp and Exporter::Lite, even strict and
      warnings.

FUNCTIONS

 parse_duration($str [, $as_secs ]) => hash

    Parses duration string and returns hash (unless when the second
    argument is true, in which case will return the number of seconds).
    Dies on parse failure. This function is exported by default.

    Note that number of seconds is an approximation: leap seconds are not
    regarded (so a minute is always 60 seconds), a month is 30 days, a year
    is 365 days.
