# NAME

DateTime::Format::Text - Find a Date in Text

# VERSION

Version 0.08

# SYNOPSIS

Find a date in any text.

    use DateTime::Format::Text;

    my $dft = DateTime::Format::Text->new();

    # ...

# SUBROUTINES/METHODS

## new

Creates a DateTime::Format::Text object.

Takes no arguments

## parse\_datetime

Synonym for parse().

## parse

Returns a [DateTime](https://metacpan.org/pod/DateTime) object constructed from a date/time string embedded in

arbitrary text.

Can be called as a class or object method.

When called in an array context, returns an array containing all of the matches.

If the given test is an object, it's sent the message as\_string() and that is parsed

    use Class::Simple;

    my $foo = Class::Simple->new();

    $foo->as_string('25/12/2022');

    my $dt = $dft->parse($foo);

    # or

    print DateTime::Format::Text->parse('25 Dec 2021, 11:00 AM UTC')->epoch(), "\n";
