NAME

DateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary::Locale::fr -- French localization for the French revolutionary calendar.

SYNOPSIS

  use DateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary::Locale;
  my $french_locale = DateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary::Locale->load('fr');

  my $french_month_name =$french_locale->month_name($date);

DESCRIPTION

This module provides localization for DateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary. Usually, its methods will be invoked only from DT::C::FR.

USAGE

This module provides the following class methods:

  • new

    Returns an object instance, which is just a convenient value to be stored in a variable.

    Contrary to the widely used Gregorian calendar, there is no need to customize a French Revolutionary calendar locale. Therefore, there are no instance data and no instance methods.

  • month_name ($date)

    Returns the French name for $date's month, where $date is a DateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary object.

  • month_abbreviation ($date)

    Returns a 3-letter abbreviation for the French month name.

  • day_name ($date)

    Returns the French day name.

  • day_abbreviation ($date)

    Returns a 3-letter abbreviation for the French day name.

  • feast_short ($date)

    Returns the name for the plant, animal or tool that correspond to $date's feast.

  • feast_long ($date)

    Same as feast_short, with a "jour" prefix.

  • feast_caps ($date)

    Same as feast_long with capitalized first letters.

  • on_date ($date)

    Gives a small text about the events which occurred the same month and day as $date between the calendar's epoch (22 Sep 1792) and the day it was rescinded (31 Dec 1805).

    Most of these events come from an anonymous propaganda book published in year VIII (1799--1800). The others are common knowledge available in any French History book or any encyclopedia.
