}DESCRIPTION
I find biorhythms mildly amusing, but I got tired of visiting http://www.facade.com/biorhythm and having to deal with their web-based form for date entry.
I vaguely remembered there being a Perl module for biorhythm calculation, but I couldn't find it on CPAN. However, further investigation finally led me to BackPAN where I found Date::Biorhythm 1.1 which was written by Terrence Brannon (a long time ago).
Wanting an excuse to try Moose out, I decided to make a new and modernized version of Date::Biorhythm, and this is the result.
BUT WTF IS A BIORHYTHM?
