NAME

       Time::Human - Convert localtime() format to "speaking clock" time

SYNOPSIS

         use Time::Human;
         print "The time is now ", humanize(localtime());

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a "vague" rendering of the time into natural language; it's
       originally intended for text-to-speech applications and other speech-based interfaces.

       It's fully internationalised: if you look at the code, you'll see a global variable called
       %Time::Human::templates, which you can fill in for other languages. If you do
       multinationalise it, please send me templates for other languages to be added to future
       releases. You can set the default language via the global variable $Time::Human::Language

       $Time::Human::Evening and $Time::Human::Night decide the hours at which afternoon turns to
       evening and evening turns to night in your culture. For instance, Greeks may want evening
       to start at 11pm; for hackers, evening may start at 3am.
