DETAILS
This Perl script uses DateTime modules to convert from one calendar to another.
The command-line arguments are passed verbatim to the -from class' new() method. The resultant object is passed to the -to class' from_object() method, and the result of that method is stringified.
By default, this script converts from DateTime to DateTime::Fiction::JRRTolkien::Shire, thus converting the given date from Gregorian to Shire Reckoning.
