Travel::Status::DE::HAFAS is an interface to HAFAS-based
arrival/departure monitors, for instance the one available at
L<http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/bhftafel.exe/dn>.
arrival/departure monitors using the mgate.exe interface.

It takes a station name and (optional) date and time and reports all arrivals
or departures at that station starting at the specified point in time (now if
unspecified).
It can report departures/arrivals at a specific station, or provide details
about a specific journey. It supports non-blocking operation via promises.
