=head1 NAME

Number::Compare::Duration - numeric comparisons of time durations

=head1 VERSION

Version 0.001

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    Number::Compare::Duration->new('>10d')->(86400 * 9);
    # false, 9 days is not more than 10

=head1 DESCRIPTION

See L<Number::Compare> for a basic description.

Number::Compare::Duration uses different magnitudes than Number::Compare.  They
are: C<s> for seconds, C<m> for minutes, C<h> for hours, C<d> for days.  No
accounting for daylight savings is done; each day is 86400 seconds.  The
default magnitude is C<s> (seconds).
