NAME
    DateTime::Format::Natural - Create machine readable date/time with
    natural parsing logic

SYNOPSIS
     use DateTime::Format::Natural;

     $parse = DateTime::Format::Natural->new();

     $dt = $parse->parse_datetime($date_string);

DESCRIPTION
    "DateTime::Format::Natural" consists of a method, "parse_datetime()",
    which takes a string with a human readable date/time and creates a
    machine readable one by applying natural parsing logic.

FUNCTIONS
  new
    Creates a new DateTime::Format::Natural object.

  parse_datetime
    Creates a "DateTime" object from a human readable date/time string.

     $dt = $parse->parse_datetime($date_string);

     $dt = $parse->parse_datetime(string => $date_string, lang => 'en', debug => 1);

    The options may contain the keys "string", "lang" & "debug". "string"
    may consist of the datestring, whereas "debug" holds the boolean value
    for the debugging option. If debugging is enabled, each token that is
    analysed will be output to stdout with a trailing newline. Finally,
    "lang" contains the language selected, currently limited to "en"
    (english) & "ge" (german).

    The "string" & "lang" options are necessary.

    Returns a "DateTime" object.

EXAMPLES
    See the modules "DateTime::Format::Natural::Lang::*" for a overview of
    valid input.
