A<DateTime> can represent nanoseconds. You can create obects with
=for example begin
# The ns part is 0.000000230 below my $dt_ns = DateTime->new(year => 2003, month => 3, day => 1, hour => 6, minute => 55, second => 23, nanosecond => 230); print "ns: ", $dt_ns->nanosecond, "\n"; # Prints: "ns: 230\n"
# Assuming we got microseconds as an argument
^^^^^ I think you meant: milli
my $ms = 42;
my $dt_ms = DateTime->new(year => 2003, month => 3, day => 1,
hour => 6, minute => 55, second => 23,
nanosecond => $ms * 1_000_000);
print "ms: ", $dt_ms->nanosecond, "\n"; # Prints: "ms: 42000000\n"
That number is in nanoseconds (42 milliseconds is 42,000,000 nanoseconds); does it make sense to label it 'ms' in the test output?
