Time::Period is a module to deal with time periods.  Currently,
it only contains one item: a function called inPeriod().

This function takes a time (in seconds) and a period (as a string)
and determines whether the time point falls within the time period,
returning 1 if it does, 0 if not, and -1 if either the time or period
were malformed.

The period string is simple and intuitive.  But is it also very
flexible.  The level of complexity of the period string is not limited.

The current version is 1.10.

It can be retrieved at "http://newhutch.fhcrc.org/Patrick/Period/".

The distribution is called Period-1.10.tar.gz.

Comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome.
