NAME Date::Day - Perl extension for converting a date to its respective day. SYNOPSIS use Date::Day; ## The following will print the weekday corresponding ## to the date March 11, 1998. $result = &day(03,11,1998); print "$result"; DESCRIPTION After noticing the complexity of some modules for determining the day of a specific date, I decided to write this module. It is by far the shortest module of its kind performing the above task. This module exports a subroutine called day() which takes as arguments numerical month, day, and year. See Synopsis for example. As far as range of usage, the day() function will return a proper day for all dates starting from year 0 through infinity. There are no restrictions. If you pass bad data to the function, a day will still be returned, it just won't have any meaning. So March 45, 2001 will return a day, just one with no meaning. So make sure you pass real dates.
