DETAILS

This Perl script generates a regression test to detect any change in behaviour of the Date::Tolkien::Shire module. This test consists of calling each method for each day in the intervals 1999-01-01 to 2002-12-31 inclusive, and 2035-01-01 to 2038-12-31 inclusive, and verifying that all calls produce the same results as when the regression test was generated.

The test is written to the file specified by the -output argument.

Note that unless -idempotent is specified and the output file exists, the PAR module is required.
