[Melbourne-pm] Opening hours representation

A client who has what I am sure must be a common need to represent the
hours that a business, venue, et al is open each week in a manageable
format.
At first glance, neither search.cpan nor Google came up with anything
which separates the idea of regular weekly opening/operating hours from
more general calendaring and that misses the point.
Basically what we want is to be able to query whether and maybe what
for a business is open at a particular time, e.g. if a restaurant
closes at 10:00 pm it would probably be wrong to suggest it is open for
dinner at 9:30 pm.
I don't really want to reinvent the wheel, particularly when it comes
to defining a data representation format, and if it is going to take a
new module it would be good to make it as widely useful as the problem
would suggest it should be.
Any thoughts?
