The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: Date::Indian DSLIP: bdpOp description: Class for Indian calendrical computations. userid: SYAMAL (Syamala Tadigadapa) chapterid: 6 (Data_Type_Utilities) communities: mailing list comp.lang.perl.modules
similar: none rationale: This module Date::Indian serves as the base class for errecting an Indian calender. In India the calender traditional is luni-solar and various flovors of tcalenders exist. Mostly they are classified as Amanta and Purnimanta depending on whether the calendrical month of the religious calender starts with the dark half or the bright half of the Moon's month long journey aroud the zodiac. Calculation of festival and other important days differ depending on the region, religious groups and variations on the disputed 'ayanamsa' value and a hoard of other things including the Era. This module serves as a base class and individual calendrical modules can be added in due course of time. The official Indian calendar is not so complicated but by nature, it is not the religious calender and is not extensively employed for civil purposes. Even to errect the official Indian calender, services from the base class is still very much needed. enteredby: SYAMAL (Syamala Tadigadapa) enteredon: Wed Aug 27 16:46:26 2003 GMT The resulting entry would be: Date:: ::Indian bdpOp Class for Indian calendrical computations.
