+perl5 module containing date manipulation routines

devel/p5-Date-Manip/pkg-descr

+       This is a set of routines designed to make any common
+       date/time manipulation easy to do.  Operations such as
+       comparing two times, calculating a time a given amount of
+       time from another, or parsing international times are all
+       easily done.
+
+       Date::Manip deals only with the Gregorian calendar (the
+       one currently in use).  The Julian calendar defined leap
+       years as every 4th year.  The Gregorian calendar improved
+       this by making every 100th year NOT a leap year, unless it
+       was also the 400th year.  The Gregorian calendar has been
+       extrapolated back to the year 1000 AD and forward to the
+       year 9999 AD.  Note that in historical context, the Julian
+       calendar was in use until 1582 when the Gregorian calendar
+       was adopted by the Catholic church.  Protestant countries
+       did not accept it until later; Germany and Netherlands in
+       1698, British Empire in 1752, Russia in 1918.  Note that
+       the Gregorian calendar is itself imperfect.  Each year is
+       on average 26 seconds too long, which means that every
+       3,323 years, a day should be removed from the calendar.
+       No attempt is made to correct for that.
+
+       Date::Manip is therefore not equipped to truly deal with
+       historacle dates, but should be able to perform
+       (virtually) any operation dealing with a modern time and
+       date.
+
+       Among other things, Date::Manip allow you to:
+
+       1.  Enter a date and be able to choose any format
+           conveniant
+
+       2.  Compare two dates, entered in widely different formats
+           to determine which is earlier
+
+       3.  Extract any information you want from ANY date using a
+           format string similar to the Unix date command
+
+       4.  Determine the amount of time between two dates
+
+       5.  Add a time offset to a date to get a second date (i.e.
+           determine the date 132 days ago or 2 years and 3 months
+           after Jan 2, 1992)
+
+       6.  Work with dates with dates using international formats
+           (foreign month names, 12-10-95 referring to October rather than
+           December, etc.).
+
+       Each of these tasks is trivial (one or two lines at most)
+       with this package.
+
+       Although the word date is used extensively here, it is
+       actually somewhat misleading.  Date::Manip works with the
+       full date AND time (year, month, day, hour, minute,
+       second).
