Description : Perl handling of the three ISO 8601 numerical calendars
The international standard ISO 8601 "Data elements and interchange
formats - Information interchange - Representation of dates and times"
defines three distinct calendars by which days can be labelled. It
also defines textual formats for the representation of dates in these
calendars. This module provides functions to convert dates between
these three calendars and Chronological Julian Day Numbers, which is
a suitable format to do arithmetic with. It also supplies functions
that describe the shape of these calendars, to assist in calendrical
calculations. It also supplies functions to represent dates textually in
the ISO 8601 formats. ISO 8601 also covers time of day and time periods,
but this module does nothing relating to those parts of the standard;
this is only about labelling days.
