=head1 NAME

XML::XQL::Date - Adds an XQL::Node type for representing and comparing dates and times

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use XML::XQL;
 use XML::XQL::Date;

 my $query = new XML::XQL::Query (Expr => "doc//timestamp[. < date('12/31/1999')]");
 my @results = $query->solve ($doc);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This package uses the L<Date::Manip> package to add an XQL node type 
(called XML::XQL::Date) that can be used to represent dates and times. 
The Date::Manip package can parse almost any date or time format imaginable.
(I tested it with Date::Manip 5.33 and I know for sure that it doesn't work 
with 5.20 or lower.)

It also adds the XQL B<date> function which creates an XML::XQL::Date 
object from a string. See L<XML::XQL::Tutorial> for a description of the date()
function.

You can plug in your own Date type, if you don't want to use Date::Manip 
 for some reason. See L<XML::XQL> and the XML::XQL::Date source file for
more details.
