| | Date::Calc - Gregorian calendar date calculations - search.cpan.org |
 | | This package consists of a C library and a Perl module (which uses the C library, internally) for all kinds of date calculations based on the Gregorian calendar (the one used in all western countries today), thereby complying with all relevant norms and standards: ISO/R 2015-1971, DIN 1355 and, to some extent, ISO 8601 (where applicable). |
 | | Second, it can be used to convert the canonical representation of a date, i.e., the number of that day (where counting starts at the 1st of January in 1 A.D.), back into a date given as year, month and day. |
 | | This function converts a date into a time value, i.e., into the number of seconds since whatever moment in time your system considers to be the 34;epoch";. |
