Convert::Age(3)

🌸 Convert::Age — the Convert::Age(3) page, but make it cute 🌸

okay so bestie, this is a User Contributed Perl Documentation page for a lil module called Convert::Age. it's giving "I just want my seconds to look pretty" energy and honestly? same. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

Convert::Age — convert integer seconds into a "compact" form and back. 🦋

🎀 VERSION 🎀

Version 0.04

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

use Convert::Age;

my $c = Convert::Age::encode(189988007); # 6y7d10h26m47s
my $d = Convert::Age::decode('5h37m5s'); # 20225

# or export functions

use Convert::Age qw(encode_age decode_age);

my $c = encode_age(20225); # 5h37m5s
my $d = decode_age('5h37m5s'); # 5h37m5s

no cap, that's the whole vibe. encode in, decode out, and if you'd rather have the functions exported into your own lil namespace, qw(encode_age decode_age) has you covered. 🫶
