Season Holydays occur on the 50th day of the Season. St. Tib's Day occurs once every 4 years (1+4=5) and is inserted between the 59th and 60th days of the Season of Chaos. The era of the Discordian Calendar is called Year Of Lady Discord (YOLD.) Its' epoch (Confusion 1 of year 0) is equivalent to January 1, -1167 B.C. X Day is when the Church of the SubGenius believes the alien X-ists will destroy the world. The revised date is equivalent to Confusion 40, 9827 YOLD. =cut my %seasons = ( 'Chaos' => { abbrev => 'Chs', offset => 0, apostle_holyday => 'Mungday', season_holyday => 'Chaoflux', }, 'Discord' => { abbrev => 'Dsc', offset => 73, apostle_holyday => 'Mojoday', season_holyday => 'Discoflux', }, 'Confusion' => { abbrev => 'Cfn', offset => 146, apostle_holyday => 'Syaday', season_holyday => 'Confuflux', }, 'Bureaucracy' => { abbrev => 'Bcy', offset => 219, apostle_holyday => 'Zaraday', season_holyday => 'Bureflux', }, 'The Aftermath' => { abbrev => 'Afm', offset => 292, apostle_holyday => 'Maladay', season_holyday => 'Afflux', }, ); my $tibsday = qr/s(?:ain)?t\.?\s*tib'?s?\s*(?:day)?/imx; =head3 Days Of The Week 1.

This class method requires the parameters I, I, and I. If I is given as "St. Tib's Day" (or reasonable facsimile thereof,) then I is omitted. This function will C if invalid parameters are given. For example: my $dtcd = DateTime::Calendar::Discordian->new( day => 8, season => 'Discord', year => 3137, ); =cut sub new { my ( $class, @arguments ) = @_; my %args = validate( @arguments, { day => { type => SCALAR, default => 0, callbacks => { q{between 1 and 73 or St. Tib's Day} => sub { ( $_[0] =~ /$tibsday/mx && !defined $_[1]->{season} ) || ( $_[0] > 0 && $_[0] < 74 ); }, }, }, season => { type => SCALAR | UNDEF, default => 0, callbacks => { 'valid season name' => sub { ( !defined( $_[0] ) && $_[1]->{day} =~ /$tibsday/mx ) || scalar grep {/$_/imx} keys %seasons; }, }, }, year => { type => SCALAR, default => 0, }, rd_secs => { type => SCALAR, default => 0, }, rd_nanosecs => { type => SCALAR, default => 0, }, locale => { type => SCALAR | OBJECT | UNDEF, default => undef, }, } ); if ( defined $args{season} ) { $args{season} = join q{ }, map { ucfirst lc $_ } split q{ }, $args{season}; } if ( $args{day} =~ /$tibsday/mx ) { $args{day} = q{St. Tib's Day}; } croak q{Not a leap year} if $args{day} eq q{St. Tib's Day} && !_is_leap_year( $args{year} - 1166 ); my $self = bless \%args, $class; $self->{epoch} = -426_237; $self->{fnord} = 5; if ( defined $self->{locale} ) { if ( !ref $self->{locale} ) { $self->{locale} = DateTime::Locale->load( $args{locale} ); } } $self->{rd} = $self->_discordian2rd; return bless $self, $class; } =head2 clone Returns a copy of the object. =cut sub clone { my ($object) = @_; return bless { %{$object} }, ref $object; } =head2 day Returns the day of the season as a number between 1 and 73 or the string "St. Tib's Day". =cut sub day { my ($self) = @_; return $self->{day}; } =head2 day_abbr Returns the name of the day of the week in abbreviated form or false if it is "St. Tib's Day". =cut sub day_abbr { my ($self) = @_; if ( $self->{day} eq q{St. Tib's Day} ) { return; } my $day_of_year = $seasons{ $self->{season} }->{offset} + $self->{day}; return $days[ ( $day_of_year - 1 ) % 5 ]->{abbrev}; } =head2 day_name Returns the full name of the day of the week or "St. Tib's Day" if it is that day. =cut sub day_name { my ($self) = @_; return $self->{day} if ( $self->{day} eq q{St. Tib's Day} ); my $day_of_year = $seasons{ $self->{season} }->{offset} + $self->{day}; return $days[ ( $day_of_year - 1 ) % 5 ]->{name}; } =head2 days_till_x Returns the number of days until X Day. =cut sub days_till_x { my ($self) = @_; return 3_163_186 - $self->{rd}; } =head2 from_object Builds a I object from another I object. This function takes an I parameter and optionally I. For example: my $dtcd = DateTime::Calendar::Discordian->from_object( object => DateTime->new(day => 22, month => 3, year => 1971,)); =cut sub from_object { my ( $class, @arguments ) = @_; my %args = validate( @arguments, { object => { type => OBJECT, can => 'utc_rd_values', }, locale => { type => SCALAR | OBJECT | UNDEF, default => undef, }, }, ); if ( $args{object}->can('set_time_zone') ) { $args{object} = $args{object}->clone->set_time_zone('floating'); } my ( $rd_days, $rd_secs, $rd_nanosecs ) = $args{object}->utc_rd_values; my ( $day, $season, $year ) = $class->_rd2discordian($rd_days); my $newobj = $class->new( day => $day, season => $season, year => $year, ); $newobj->{rd_secs} = $rd_secs || 0; $newobj->{rd_nanosecs} = $rd_nanosecs || 0; $newobj->{locale} = $args{locale}; return $newobj; } =head2 holyday If the current day is a holy day, returns the name of that day otherwise returns an empty string. =cut sub holyday { my ($self) = @_; return $seasons{ $self->{season} }->{apostle_holyday} if ( $self->{day} == 5 ); return $seasons{ $self->{season} }->{season_holyday} if ( $self->{day} == 50 ); return q{}; } =head2 season_abbr Returns the abbreviated name of the current season. =cut sub season_abbr { my ($self) = @_; return $seasons{ $self->{season} }->{abbrev}; } =head2 season_name Returns the full name of the current season. =cut sub season_name { my ($self) = @_; return $self->{season}; } =head2 strftime This function takes one or more parameters consisting of strings containing special specifiers. For each such string it will return a string formatted according to the specifiers, er, specified. See the L section for a list of the available format specifiers. They have been chosen to be compatible with the L program not necessarily the L C function. If you give a format specifier that doesn't exist, then it is simply treated as text. =head3 strftime Specifiers The following specifiers are allowed in the format string given to the B method: =over 4 =item * %a Abbreviated name of the day of the week (i.e., SM.) Internally uses the I function. =item * %A Full name of the day of the week (i.e., Sweetmorn.) Internally uses the I function. =item * %b Abbreviated name of the season (i.e., Chs.) Internally uses the I function. =item * %B Full name of the season (i.e., Chaos.) Internally uses the I function. =item * %d Ordinal number of day in season (i.e., 23.) Internally uses the I function. =item * %e Cardinal number of day in season (i.e., 23rd.) =item * %H Name of current Holyday, if any. Internally uses the I function. =item * %n A newline character. =item * %N Magic code to prevent rest of format from being printed unless today is a Holyday. =item * %t A tab character. =item * %X Number of days remaining until X-Day. Internally uses the I function. =item * %Y Number of Year Of Lady Discord (YOLD.) Internally uses the I function. =item * %{ =item * %} Used to enclose the part of the string which is to be replaced with the words "St. Tib's Day" if the current day is St. Tib's Day. =item * %% A literal `%' character. =item * %.
