    Getting the current time sometimes is not very helpful
    for testing scenarios.
    Instead, if you could obtain a known value during the runtime
    of a testcase will make your results predictable.
    
    Why another Date Mocker?
    I wanted something simple with a very concise usage pattern
    and a mocked date should only exist and stay constant inside a scope.
    After leaving the scope the current time should be back.
    This lead to this tiny module.
    
    This simple module allows faking a given date and time
    for the runtime of a subsequent code block.
    By default the on keyword is exported into the namespace
    of the test file.
    The date to get mocked must be in a format that is recognized
    by DateTime::Format::DateParse.
