=head1 NAME

DateTimeX::Lite::Infinite - Infinite past and future DateTimeX::Lite objects

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  my $future = DateTimeX::Lite::Infinite::Future->new;
  my $past   = DateTimeX::Lite::Infinite::Past->new;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides two L<DateTimeX::Lite.pm|DateTimeX::Lite> subclasses,
C<DateTimeX::Lite::Infinite::Future> and C<DateTimeX::Lite::Infinite::Past>.

The objects are in the "floating" timezone, and this cannot be
changed.

=head1 BUGS

There seem to be lots of problems when dealing with infinite numbers
on Win32.  This may be a problem with this code, Perl, or Win32's IEEE
math implementation.  Either way, the module may not be well-behaved
on Win32 operating systems.

=head1 METHODS

The only constructor for these two classes is the C<new()> method, as
shown in the L<SYNOPSIS|/SYNOPSIS>.  This method takes no parameters.

All "get" methods in this module simply return infinity, positive or
negative.  If the method is expected to return a string, it return the
string representation of positive or negative infinity used by your
system.  For example, on my system calling C<year()> returns a number
which when printed appears either "inf" or "-inf".

The object is not mutable, so the C<set()>, C<set_time_zone()>, and
C<truncate()> methods are all do-nothing methods that simply return
the object they are called with.

Obviously, the C<is_finite()> method returns false and the
C<is_infinite()> method returns true.
