               is => "rw",

           );

           Class->new( time_zone => "Africa/Timbuktu" );

DESCRIPTION

       This module packages several Moose::Util::TypeConstraints with coercions, designed to work
       with the DateTime suite of objects.

CONSTRAINTS

       DateTime
           A class type for DateTime.

           from "Num"
               Uses "from_epoch" in DateTime. Floating values will be used for subsecond
               percision, see DateTime for details.

           from "HashRef"
               Calls "new" in DateTime with the hash entries as arguments.

       Duration
           A class type for DateTime::Duration

           from "Num"
               Uses "new" in DateTime::Duration and passes the number as the "seconds" argument.

               Note that due to leap seconds, DST changes etc this may not do what you expect.
               For instance passing in 86400 is not always equivalent to one day, although there
               are that many seconds in a day. See "How Date Math is Done" in DateTime for more
               details.

           from "HashRef"
               Calls "new" in DateTime::Duration with the hash entries as arguments.

       DateTime::Locale
           A class type for DateTime::Locale::root with the name DateTime::Locale.

           from "Str"
               The string is treated as a language tag (e.g. "en" or "he_IL") and given to "load"
               in DateTime::Locale.

           from Locale::Maktext
               The "Locale::Maketext/language_tag" attribute will be used with "load" in
               DateTime::Locale.

           DateTime::TimeZone
               A class type for DateTime::TimeZone.

               from "Str"
                   Treated as a time zone name or offset. See "USAGE" in DateTime::TimeZone for
                   more details on the allowed values.

                   Delegates to "new" in DateTime::TimeZone with the string as the "name"
                   argument.
