NAME

Date::Holidays::DK - Determine Danish public holidays

SYNOPSIS

use Date::Holidays::DK;
my ($year, $month, $day) = (localtime)[ 5, 4, 3 ];
$year  += 1900;
$month += 1;
print "Woohoo" if is_dk_holiday( $year, $month, $day );

my $h = dk_holidays($year);
printf "Dec. 25th is named '%s'\n", $h->{'1225'};

DESCRIPTION

Determines whether a given date is a Danish public holiday or not.

This module is based on the simple API of Date::Holidays::UK, but implements a generalised date mechanism, that will work for all years since 1700, when Denmark adopted the Gregorian calendar.

Functions

is_dk_holiday($year, $month, $date)

Returns the name of the Holiday that falls on the given day, or undef if there is none.

dk_holidays($year)

Returns a hashref of all defined holidays in the year. Keys in the hashref are in 'mmdd' format, the values are the names of the holidays.

EXPORTS

Exports is_dk_holiday() and dk_holidays() by default.
