      '2009-09-01T00:00:00' matches '* * * * *'
      '2009-09-01T00:00:00' matches '0 * * * *'
      '2009-09-01T00:01:00' does not matches '0 * * * *'

At a first glance, it seems DateTime::Event objects don't do this.

As far as I can see,

 use DateTime::Cron::Simple;
 DateTime::Cron::Simple->new($cron)->validate_time($dt);

is equal to:

 use DateTime::Event::Cron;
 DateTime::Event::Cron->from_cron( cron => $cron )->valid($dt);
