I wish to contribute a perl module that makes date arithmetic and
validation simple.
The main fuctions are convert_date_to_number($year, $month, $date)
which returns the number of day since 1/1/01 + 1 (so
convert_date_to_number(1,1,1) returns 1)
and the inverse ($year, $month, $day) =
convert_number_to_date($number)
These functions make date arithmetic and validation vary easy. The
functions are based on formulas from
Calenderical Calculation by Dershowitz and Reingold and should be
valid from 1/1/1 to at leash 1/1/10000
The compution is purely numerical and does not use localtime or
timelocal so it is operating system independent.
