Time::DayOfWeek - calculate which Day-of-Week a date is
This documentation refers to version 1.6.A6FFxZB of Time::DayOfWeek, which was released on Tue Jun 15 15:59:35:11 2010.
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Time::DayOfWeek qw(:dow); my($year, $month, $day)=(2003, 12, 7); print "The Day-of-Week of $year/$month/$day (YMD) is: ", DayOfWeek($year, $month, $day), "\n"; print 'The 3-letter abbreviation of the Dow is: ', Dow( $year, $month, $day), "\n"; print 'The 0-based index of the DoW is: ', DoW( $year, $month, $day), "\n";
This module just calculates the Day-of-Week for any particular date. It was inspired by the clean Time::DaysInMonth module written by David Muir Sharnoff <Muir@Idiom.Com>.
The reason I created DayOfWeek was to support other Time modules which would like to have a Day-of-Week calculated.
Time::DayOfWeek's core function which does the calculation and returns the weekday index answer in 0..6. If no Year is supplied, 2000 C.E. is assumed. If no Month or Day is supplied, they are set to 1. Months are 1-based in 1..12.
DoW() is the only function that is exported from a normal 'use Time::DayOfWeek;' command. Other functions can be imported to local namespaces explicitly or with the following tags:
:all - every function described here :dow - only DoW(), Dow(), and DayOfWeek() :nam - only DayNames() and MonthNames() :day - everything but MonthNames()
same as above but returns 3-letter day abbreviations in 'Sun'..'Sat'.
same as above but returns full day names in 'Sunday'..'Saturday'.
can override default day names with the strings in @NewDayNames. The current list of day names is returned so call DayNames() with no parameters to obtain a list of the default day names.
An example call is:
DayNames('Domingo', 'Lunes', 'Martes', 'Miercoles', 'Jueves', 'Viernes', 'Sabado');
has also been included to provide a centralized name set. Just like DayNames(), this function returns the current list of month names so call MonthNames() with no parameters to obtain a list of the default month names.

* added kwalitee && POD tests, bumped minor version
* condensed code && moved POD to bottom
* updated License
* updated DoW param tests to turn zero month or day to one
* updated POD to contain links
* made bin/dow as EXE_FILES && added named month param detection
* removed most eccentric misspellings
* removed indenting from POD NAME field
* added month name data and tidied up for release
* wrote pod and made tests
* original version
