NAME

PlotCalendar::DateTools - This is an all perl replacement for parts of Date::Calc. I'd love to use it, but I ran into trouble installing the compiled C onto my hosting service account, since I can't do a compile over there (it'd cost $$) So I have reproduced those functions I needed in perl. Oh well.

SYNOPSIS

  require PlotCalendar::DateTools;

  my ($day, $month, $year) = (5,3,1999);
  my $dayname = 'Tuesday';

    # ----    initialize tool

      my $dow = Day_of_Year($yr,$mon,$day);

    my $numdays = Days_in_Month($yr,$mon);

    my $dow = Decode_Day_of_Week($dayname);

    my $dowfirst = Day_of_Week($yr,$mon,$day);

    my ($nyr, $nmon, $nday) = Add_Delta_Days($yr,$mon,$day, $numdays);

    my $dayname = Day_of_Week_to_Text($dow)

    my $month = Month_to_Text($mon);

    my $doy = Day_of_Year($year,$mon,$day);

DESCRIPTION

    A perl-only clone of a subset of Date::Calc
