NAME

       Set::Crontab - Expand crontab(5)-style integer lists

SYNOPSIS

       $s = Set::Crontab->new("1-9/3,>15,>30,!23", [0..30]);

       if ($s->contains(3)) { ... }

DESCRIPTION

       Set::Crontab parses crontab-style lists of integers and defines some utility functions to
       make it easier to deal with them.

   Syntax
       Numbers, ranges, *, and step values all work exactly as described in crontab(5). A few
       extensions to the standard syntax are described below.

       < and >
           <N selects the elements smaller than N from the entire range, and adds them to the
           set. >N does likewise for elements larger than N.

       !   !N excludes N from the set. It applies to the other specified range; otherwise it
           applies to the specified ranges (i.e. "!3" with a range of "1-10" corresponds to
           "1-2,4-10", but ">3,!7" in the same range means "4-6,8-10").

   Functions
       new($spec, [@range])
           Creates a new Set::Crontab object and returns a reference to it.

       contains($num)
           Returns true if $num exists in the set.

       list()
           Returns the expanded list corresponding to the set. Elements are in ascending order.

       The functions described above croak if they are called with incorrect arguments.
