| libdate-calc-perl | Perl library for accessing dates | Mehr ... |
The package provides a Perl interface to a C library which offers a
wide variety of date calculations based on the Gregorian calendar
(the one used in all western countries today), complying with the
ISO/R 2015-1971 and DIN 1355 standards which specify things as what
leap years are, when they occur, how the week numbers are defined,
what's the first day of the week, how many weeks (52 or 53) a given
year has, and so on.
.
Although the Gregorian calendar was only adopted 1582 by most (not
all) European countries (some countries continued to use the Julian
calendar until as late as the beginning of the 20th century!), this
package allows you to extrapolate the Gregorian calendar back until
the year 1. |
