            module=>'DateTime::Format::Natural',
            description => <<'_',

Compared to <pm:DateTime::Format::Flexible>, this module can also parse
duration in addition to date/time, e.g.:

    2 years 3 months

And it also can extract the date expression from a longer string.

Speed-wise, I'd say the two modules are roughly comparable. For some patterns
one might be faster than the other.

        },
        {
            module=>'DateTime::Format::Flexible',
            description => <<'_',

One advantage of this over <pm:DateTime::Format::Natural> is its time zone
support, e.g.:

    yesterday 8pm UTC
    yesterday 20:00 +0800
    yesterday 20:00 Asia/Jakarta

Speed-wise, I'd say the two modules are roughly comparable. For some patterns
one might be faster than the other.

            description => <<'_',

This module can parse several formats, but does not really fall into "human
date/time parser" as it lacks support for casual expression like "yesterday" or
3 hours ago".
