What is libdatetime-set-perl
libdatetime-set-perl is:
DateTime::Set is a module for date/time sets. It can be used to handle two different types of sets.
The first is a fixed set of predefined datetime objects. For example, to create a set of dates containing the birthdays of people in a family.
The second type of set that it can handle is one based on the idea of a recurrence, such as “every Wednesday”, or “noon on the 15th day of every month”.
