Weihnachtstag Christmas wei2 2. Weihnachtstag Christmas silv Silvester New year's eve Please refer to the module source for detailed information about how every holiday is calculated. Too much detail would be far beyond the scope of this document, but it's not particularly hard once you've found the date for Easter. =head1 USAGE =head2 OUTPUT FORMAT The list returned by B<holidays()> consists of UNIX-Style timestamps in seconds since The Epoch. You may pass a B<strftime()> style format string to get the dates in any format you desire: my $feiertage_ref = holidays(FORMAT=>"%d.%m.%Y"); This might be considered "hard to use" by some people, so here are a few examples to get you started: FORMAT=>"%d.%m.%Y" 25.12.2001 FORMAT=>"%Y%m%d" 20011225 FORMAT=>"%a, %B %d" Tuesday, December 25 Please consult the manual page of B<strftime()> for a complete list of available format definitions. There is, however, one "proprietary" extension to the formats of B<strftime()>: The format definition I<%#> will print the internal abbreviation used for each holiday. FORMAT=>"%#:%d.%m" wei1:25.12. As the module doesn't want to deal with i18n issues, you'll have to find your own way to translate the aliases into your local language. See the I<example/feiertage.pl> script included in the distribution to get the idea. This was added in version 0.6. =head2 LOCAL HOLIDAYS The module also knows about different regulations throughout Germany. When calling B<holidays()>, the resulting list by default contains the list of Germany-wide holidays. You can specify one ore more of the following federal states to get the list of holidays local to that state: bw Baden-Wuerttemberg by Freistaat Bayern be Berlin bb Brandenburg hb Freie Hansestadt Bremen hh Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg he Hessen mv Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ni Niedersachsen nw Nordrhein-Westfalen rp Rheinland-Pfalz sl Saarland sn Freistaat Sachsen st Sachsen-Anhalt sh Schleswig-Holstein th Freistaat Thueringen For example, my $feiertage_ref = holidays(WHERE=>['by', 'bw']); returns the list of holidays local to Bayern or Baden-Wuerttemberg. To get the list of local holidays along with the default list of common German holidays, use the following: my $feiertage_ref = holidays(WHERE=>['common', 'bw']); returns the list of common German holidays merged with the list of holidays specific to Baden-Wuerttemberg. You can also request a list containing all holidays this module knows about: my $feiertage_ref = holidays(WHERE=>['all']); will return a list of all known holidays. This was added in version 0.6. =head2 ADDITIONAL HOLIDAYS There are a number of holidays that aren't really holidays, e.g. New Year's Eve and Christmas Eve. These aren't contained in the I<common> set of holidays returnd by the B<holidays()> function. The aforementioned I<silv> and I<heil> are probably the most likely ones that you'll need. If you live in Koeln, you'll probably want to include I<romo> and I<fadi>, too. ;-) As if things weren't bad enough already, there even are Holidays that aren't valid in an entire state. This refers to I<fron>, I<alhe> and I<mari> in particular. If you want one or several of them to appear in the output from B<holidays()>, use the following: my $feiertage_ref = holidays(ADD=>['heil', 'silv']); =head2 SPECIFYING THE YEAR By default, B<holidays()> returns the holidays for the current year. Specify a year as follows: my $feiertage_ref = holidays(YEAR=>2004); =head2 HOLIDAYS ON WEEKENDS By default, B<holidays()> includes Holidays that occur on weekends in its listing. To disable this behaviour, set the I<WEEKENDS> option to 0: my $feiertage_ref = holidays(WEEKENDS=>0); =head1 COMPLETE EXAMPLE Get all holidays for Germany and Bayern in 2004, count New Year's Eve and Christmas Eve as Holidays. Also, we live in a catholic region where Assumption day is a holiday, too. Exclude weekends and return the date list in human readable format: my $feiertage_ref = holidays( WHERE => ['common', 'he'], FORMAT => "%a, %d.%m.%Y" WEEKENDS => 0, YEAR => 2004, ADD => ['heil', 'silv', 'mari']); =head1 PREREQUISITES Uses B<Date::Calc 5.0> for all calculations. Makes use of the B<POSIX> and B<Time::Local> modules from the standard Perl distribution. =head1 BUGS & SUGGESTIONS If you run into a miscalculation, need some sort of feature or an additional holiday, or if you know of any new changes to our funky holiday situation, please drop the author a note. I<Tag der Deutschen Einheit> was moved from June 17th to October 3rd in 1990 and is therefore listed twice when calculating holidays for 1990. This is not a bug. Awareness for this was introduced in Version 1.1. =head1 OFFICIAL HOLIDAY INFORMATION The German Federal Ministry of the Interior used to publish a comprehensive list of holiday dates. This does currently not appear to be the case. A list of holidays per state is available at: http://www.bmi.bund.de/cae/servlet/contentblob/150560/publicationFile/13610/feiertage_de.pdf =head1 LIMITATIONS B<Date::Calc> works with year, month and day numbers exclusively. Even though this module uses B<Date::Calc> for all calculations, it represents the calculated holidays as UNIX timestamps (seconds since The Epoch) to allow for more flexible formatting. This limits the range of years to work on to the years from 1972 to 2037. Historic regulations for I<Buss- und Bettag> are still not implemented. B<Date::Holidays::DE> is not configurable. Holiday changes don't come over night and a new module release can be rolled out within a single day. =head1 AUTHOR Martin Schmitt E<lt>mas at scsy dot deE<gt> =head1 SEE ALSO L<perl>, L<Date::Calc>. =cut
