NAME

Date::Discordian - Calculate the Discordian date of a particular day

SYNOPSIS

use Date::Discordian;
$discordian = discordian(time);

DESCRIPTION

Calculate the Discordian date of a particular 'real' date.

Date::Discordian exports just one function - discordian() - which, when given a time value, returns a string, giving the Discordian date for the given day.

I'm really not sure how this would ever be used, so if you actually use this, send me a note.

Bugs/To Do

I'd like for it to be able to return the various Holydays in some useful fashion, ala ddate.

And, for some reason, I did not realize that there was a year associated with these. I'll have that in the next version.

General comments

You can find out more about the Discordian Calendar at http://www.concentric.net/~darkfox/DiscoCal.html and at a plethora of other sites on the Internet.

It is related to the Principia Discordia (http://members.xoom.com/ffungo/titlepage.html) and the "religion" of Discordianism. I suppose that there are people that actually take this sort of thing seriously. But then, there are people that collect Beanie Babies, so what do you expect?
