=head1 NAME

DateTime::Event::Cron - DateTime extension for generating recurrence
sets from crontab lines and files.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use DateTime::Event::Cron;

  # check if a date matches (defaults to current time)
  my $c = DateTime::Event::Cron->new('* 2 * * *');
  if ($c->match) {
    # do stuff
  }
  if ($c->match($date)) {
    # do something else for datetime $date
  }

  # DateTime::Set construction from crontab line

  # or files in /etc/cron.d, are supported and auto-detected:

=head1 DESCRIPTION

DateTime::Event::Cron generated DateTime events or DateTime::Set objects
based on crontab-style entries.

=head1 METHODS

The cron fields are typical crontab-style entries. For more information,
see L<crontab(5)> and extensions described in L<Set::Crontab>. The
fields can be passed as a single string or as a reference to an array
containing each field. Only the first five fields are retained.

=head2 DateTime::Set Factories

See L<DateTime::Set> for methods provided by Set objects, such as
C<next()> and C<previous()>.

=over 4

=item from_cron($cronline)

=item from_cron(cron => $cronline, %parms, %set_parms)

Generates a DateTime::Set recurrence for the cron line provided. See
new() for details on %parms. Optionally takes parameters for
DateTime::Set.

=item from_crontab(file => $crontab_fh, %parms, %set_parms)

Returns a list of DateTime::Set recurrences based on lines from a
crontab file. C<$crontab_fh> can be either a filename or filehandle
reference. See new() for details on %parm. Optionally takes parameters
for DateTime::Set which will be passed along to each set for each line.

=item as_set(%set_parms)

Generates a DateTime::Set recurrence from an existing
DateTime::Event::Cron object.

=back

=head2 Constructors

=over 4

=item new_from_cron(cron => $cronstring, %parms)

Returns a DateTime::Event::Cron object based on the cron specification.
Optional parameters include the boolean 'user_mode' which indicates that
the crontab entry includes a username column before the command.

=item new_from_crontab(file => $fh, %parms)

Returns a list of DateTime::Event::Cron objects based on the lines of a
crontab file. C<$fh> can be either a filename or a filehandle reference.
Optional parameters include the boolean 'user_mode' as mentioned above.

=back

=head2 Other methods

=over 4

=item next()

=item next($date)

Returns the next valid datetime according to the cron specification.
C<$date> defaults to DateTime->now unless provided.

=item previous()

=item previous($date)

Returns the previous valid datetime according to the cron specification.
C<$date> defaults to DateTime->now unless provided.

=item increment($date)

=item decrement($date)

Same as C<next()> and C<previous()> except that the provided datetime is
modified to the new datetime.

=item match($date)

Returns whether or not the given datetime (defaults to current time)
matches the current cron specification. Dates are truncated to minute
resolution.

=item valid($date)

A more strict version of match(). Returns whether the given datetime is
valid under the current cron specification. Cron dates are only accurate
to the minute -- datetimes with seconds greater than 0 are invalid by
default. (note: never fear, all methods accepting dates will accept
invalid dates -- they will simply be rounded to the next nearest valid
date in all cases except this particular method)

=item command()

Returns the command string, if any, from the original crontab entry.
Currently no expansion is performed such as resolving environment
variables, etc.

=item user()

Returns the username under which this cron command was to be executed,
assuming such a field was present in the original cron entry.

=item original()

Returns the original, unparsed cron string including any user or
command fields.
