Oxford::Calendar::ToOx(reverse Date::Calc::Today); =head1 DESCRIPTION This module converts University of Oxford dates (Oxford academic dates) to and from Real World dates, and provides information on Terms of the University. The Terms of the University are defined by the B, available online from L This document describes the start and end dates of Oxford Terms. In addition to this, the dates of Full Term, required to calculate the week number of the term, are prescribed by Council, and published periodically in the B. Full term comprises weeks 1-8 inclusive, but sometimes, dates outside of full term are presented in the Oxford academic date format. This module will optionally provide such dates. Data for these prescribed dates may be supplied in the file F; if this file does not exist, built-in data will be used. The built-in data is periodically updated from the semi-authoritative source at L. or the authoritative source, the Gazette, available online from L. L describes the academic year at Oxford. =head1 DATE FORMAT An Oxford academic date has the following format: =over , [st,nd,rd,th] week, =back where term name is one of =over =item * Michaelmas (autumn) =item * Hilary (spring) =item * Trinity (summer) =back Example: Friday, 8th Week, Michaelmas 2007 =cut our %db; my $_initcal; # If this is true, we have our database of dates already. my $_initrange; my @_oxford_full_terms; sub _get_week_suffix { my $week = shift; die "_get_week_suffix: No week given" unless defined $week; my $wsuffix = "th"; abs($week) == 1 && ( $wsuffix = "st" ); abs($week) == 2 && ( $wsuffix = "nd" ); abs($week) == 3 && ( $wsuffix = "rd" ); return $wsuffix; } sub _find_week { my $tm = shift; my $sweek = shift; my $sweek_tm = shift; my $eow = $sweek_tm + ONE_WEEK; while ( $tm >= $eow ) { $eow += ONE_WEEK; $sweek++; } return $sweek; } sub _init_db { my $db; if ( -r CALENDAR ) { $db = YAML::LoadFile(CALENDAR); } else { my $data = join '', ; $db = YAML::Load($data); } %db = %{ $db->{Calendar} }; } sub _init_range { foreach my $termspec ( keys %db ) { next unless $db{$termspec}; my $time = eval { Time::Piece->strptime($db{$termspec}->{start}, '%d/%m/%Y' ) } or die "Could not decode date ($db{$termspec}->{start}) for term $termspec: $@"; push @_oxford_full_terms, [$time, ($time + SEVEN_WEEKS), split(/ /, $termspec), $db{$termspec}->{provisional}]; } $_initrange++; } sub _fmt_oxdate_as_string { my ( $dow, $week, $term, $year ) = @_; my $wsuffix = _get_week_suffix($week); return "$dow, $week$wsuffix week, $term $year"; } sub _increment_term { my ( $year, $term ) = @_; if ( $term eq 'Michaelmas' ) { return $year + 1, 'Hilary'; } elsif ( $term eq 'Hilary' ) { return $year, 'Trinity' } elsif ( $term eq 'Trinity' ) { return $year, 'Michaelmas'; } else { die "_increment_term: Unknown term $term"; } } sub _sunday_of_first { my ( $year, $term ) = @_; Init() unless defined $_initcal; my $date = $db{"$term $year"}; return undef unless $date; return ( $date->{provisional}, Decode_Date_EU($date->{start}) ); } sub _to_ox_nearest { my @date = @_; my $confirmed = pop @date; my $week; my @term; _init_range() unless defined $_initrange; my $dow = Day_of_Week_to_Text( Day_of_Week( @date ) ); my $tm = Time::Piece->strptime(join('/', @date[0..2]), '%Y/%m/%d'); my @terms = sort { $a->[0] <=> $b->[0] } @_oxford_full_terms; my ( $prevterm, $nextterm ); my $curterm = shift @terms; while ($curterm) { if ( $tm < $curterm->[0] ) { if ( $prevterm && $tm >= ($prevterm->[1] + ONE_WEEK) ) { $nextterm = $curterm; last; } else { die "Date out of range"; } } $prevterm = $curterm; $curterm = shift @terms; } return undef unless $nextterm; # We are in the gap between terms .. which one is closest? my $prevgap = $tm - ($prevterm->[1] + ONE_WEEK); my $nextgap = $tm - $nextterm->[0]; if ( abs($prevgap) < abs($nextgap) ) { # if equal go for -th week $week = _find_week( $tm, 8, $prevterm->[1] ); @term = @{$prevterm}; } else { my $delta = $nextgap / (24 * 60 * 60); $week = 1 + int( $delta / 7 ); $week -= 1 if $delta % 7; @term = @{$nextterm}; } return undef if $term[4] && $confirmed; return ($dow, $week, $term[2], $term[3]) if ( wantarray ); return _fmt_oxdate_as_string( $dow, $week, $term[2], $term[3] ); } sub Init { _init_db; Date::Calc::Language(Date::Calc::Decode_Language('English')); $_initcal++; } =head1 FUNCTIONS =over 3 =item ToOx($day, $month, $year, [\%options]) Given a day, month and year in standard human format (that is, month is 1-12, not 0-11, and year is four digits) will return a string of the form Day, xth week, Term year or an array (Day, week of term, Term, year) depending on how it is called. The exact behaviour is modified by the 'mode' option described below. If the requested date is not in full term or extended term (see below), undef will be returned. If the requested date is not covered by the database, ToOx will die with an "out of range" error message. Therefore it is recommended to eval ToOx with appropriate error handling. %options can contain additional named parameter options: =over 5 =item mode Several modes are available: =over 6 =item full_term Term dates will only be returned if the date requested is part of a full term (as defined by the web page above). =item ext_term Term dates will only be returned if the date requested is part of an extended term, or statutory term. =item nearest Will return term dates based on the nearest term, even if the date requested is not part of an extended term (i.e. will include fictional week numbers). This is currently the default behaviour, for backwards compatibility with previous releases; this may be changed in future. =back =back =over 4 =item confirmed If true, ignores dates marked as provisional in the database. =back =cut sub ToOx { my (@dmy, $options); ($dmy[0], $dmy[1], $dmy[2], $options) = @_; my $mode = $options->{mode} || DEFAULT_MODE; my ($week, @term); my @date = reverse @dmy; Init unless defined $_initcal; my $dow = Day_of_Week_to_Text( Day_of_Week( @date ) ); @term = ThisTerm( @date ); if ( $#term ) { # We're in term my @term_start = _sunday_of_first( @term ); my $provisional = shift @term_start; die "Date out of range" unless ( $#term_start == 2 ); my $days_from_start = Delta_Days( @term_start, @date ); my $week_offset = $days_from_start < 0 ? 1 : 7; my $week = int( ( $days_from_start + $week_offset ) / 7); return undef if $options->{confirmed} && $provisional; return undef if ( ( $week < 1 || $week > 8 ) && $mode eq 'full_term' ); return ( $dow, $week, $term[1], $term[0] ) if ( wantarray ); return _fmt_oxdate_as_string( $dow, $week, $term[1], $term[0] ); } else { return undef if $mode eq 'full_term'; return undef if $mode eq 'ext_term'; return _to_ox_nearest( @date, $options->{confirmed} ); } } =item ThisTerm($year, $month, $day) Given a year, month, term in standard human format (that is, month is 1-12, not 0-11, and year is four digits) will returns the current term or undef if in vacation or unknown.

The term is given as an array in the form (year, term). =cut sub NextTerm { my @date = @_; my @next_term; my @this_term = ThisTerm( @date ); if ( @this_term == 2 ) { @next_term = _increment_term( @this_term ); } else { my @test_date = @date; while ( @next_term != 2 ) { @test_date = Add_Delta_Days( @test_date, 1 ); @next_term = ThisTerm( @test_date ); } } return @next_term; } =item StatutoryTermDates($year) Returns a hash reference keyed on terms for a given year, the value of each being a hash reference containing start and end dates for that term.

If the name of a term is not found, the current term will be assumed. If the description is unparsable, undef is returned. Otherwise, an array will be returned of the form C<($year,$term,$week,$day)>.

or undef. The arguments are of the same format as returned by ToOx in array context; that is, a four-digit year, the name of the term, the week number, and the name of the day of week (e.g. 'Sunday'). If the requested date is not covered by the database, FromOx will die with an "out of range" error message.
