MQSeries::Utils - Internal utility functions

  use MQSeries::Utils qw(ConvertUnit);

  my $wait_value = ConvertUnit('Wait', '45s');
  my $exp_value = ConvertUnit('Expiry', '1.5m');

The MQSeries::Utils module contains internal helper functions that are generally not of interest to users of the MQSeries module.

This function can convert values for the 'Wait' and 'Expiry' options from symbolic values into the numeric values required. Symbolic values are numeric values ending in an 's' for seconds or an 'm' for minutes.

As 'Wait' values are in 1/1000 of a second and 'Expiry' is in 1/10 of a second, using symbolic values can help avoid mistakes such as getting the magnitude of these numbers wrong by one or more orders of magnitude.
