  # NAME
  
  **DateTime::Posix** - Provides a DateTime object that returns posix values with fractional seconds
  
  Note this module's routines have been incorporated into core Raku version **6.e**.
  
  # SYNOPSIS
  
  ```
  use DateTimePosixReal;
  my $dt = DateTime::Posix.new: '1970-01-01T00:00:00.23Z';
  say $dt.Posix;      # OUTPUT: «0.23␤»
  say $dt.posix-real; # OUTPUT: «0.23␤»
  
  ```
  
  # DESCRIPTION
  
  **DateTime::Posix** is a child class of Raku's **DateTime** class that returns 'posix' values as fractional instead of integral seconds.
  
  The module has two methods with slightly different names to allow some user flexibility:
  
  ```
  method Posix($in-timezone? --> Real:D) {...}
  
  ```
  
  and
  
  ```
  method posix-real($in-timezone? --> Real:D) {...}
  
  ```
  
  This module will be deprecated when Raku version **6.e** is released since that version will provide the same capability for the **DateTime** base class as its 'posix' method will then return fractional rather than integral seconds.
