Date::Convert::French_Rev - Jean Forget <J-FORGET@wanadoo.fr>
Date conversion using the French Revolutionary calendar.
This module is obsolete. It is replaced by a module compatible with
Dave Rolsky's DateTime.pm. See:
DateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary
This module is a add-on to Mordechai Abzug's Date::Convert
module. Since his module is pre-alpha, mine is, too. Another
consequence is that this module allows you to convert from or to any
calendar implemented in Date::Convert. These calendars are currently
Gregorian, Julian, Hebrew and absolute (which is Julian Day Number,
with midnight-to-midnight days instead of noon-to-noon).
This module allows you to pretty-print French Revolutionary dates.
You can use this module even if you do not have Perl on your computer.
See the alternate install procedure below.
REQUIREMENTS
Date::Convert, by Mordechai Abzug (MORTY)
Roman, by OZAWA Sakuro (OZAWA)
INSTALL
First intall Roman.pm and Date::Convert.pm, and then install the
normal way:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
Note: if "make test" give you a "dubious" result, one possibility is
that you have forgotten to install Roman.pm. I know, it happened to
me!
ALTERNATE INSTALL
This module can be installed on a perl-less computer!
All you need, on this computer, is:
- tar and gzip, or compatible software
- a table-aware HTML browser (no Internet connection required if you
downloaded the archive from a local network or a CD-ROM)
- a printer.
The installation steps are:
- Gunzip and untar the archive.
- Go to the eg/result subdirectory.
- Open the various files ending in "en.html" (or, if you are a
French-speaker, ending in "fr.html") with the HTML browser.
- Print them.
That's all!
