=head1 NAME

DateTime::Functions - Procedural interface to DateTime functions

=head1 VERSION

This document describes version 0.10 of DateTime::Functions, released
December 9, 2010

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use DateTime::Functions;
    print today->year;
    print now->strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S");

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module simply exports all class methods of L<DateTime> into the
caller's namespace.

=head1 METHODS

Unless otherwise noted, all methods correspond to the same-named class
method in L<DateTime>.  Please see L<DateTime> for which parameters are
supported.

=head2 Constructors

All constructors can die when invalid parameters are given.  They all
return C<DateTime> objects, except for C<duration()> which returns
a C<DateTime::Duration> object.
