Hi Mike,
Thank you very much for the suggestion. With some difficulty I was able to get the module installed. However, I am unclear on how it works. The example given in the docs:
use DateTime::Event::Holiday::US;
my $thanksgiving = DateTime::Event::Holiday::US::holiday( 'Thanksgiving' );
gives me a hash reference which when I try to dereference with:
my %hash = %$thanksgiving;
foreach my $k (keys %hash) {
print "$k: $hash{$k}\n";
}
gives me:
as_ical: ARRAY(0x1e63190)
set: Too complex
I was hoping it might give me the date for Thanksgiving.
If any one can give me an idea as to what I am doing wrong in trying to use this module I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Richard
