ACME::CPANMODULES ENTRIES

Date::DayOfWeek

Author: RBOW

Both Date::DayOfWeek and Time::DayOfWeek are lightweight modules.

Time::DayOfWeek

Author: PIP

Both Date::DayOfWeek and Time::DayOfWeek are lightweight modules.

This module offers cryptic and confusing function names: DoW returns 0-6, Dow returns 3-letter abbrev.

DateTime

Author: DROLSKY

Compared to Date::DayOfWeek and Time::DayOfWeek, DateTime is a behemoth. But it provides a bunch of other functionalities as well.

Date::Calc

Author: STBEY

Date::Calc is a nice compromise when you want something that is more lightweight and does not need to be as accurate as DateTime.

Time::Moment

Author: CHANSEN

Time::Moment is also a nice alternative to DateTime. Although it's not as featureful as DateTime, it is significantly more lightweight. Compared to Date::Calc, Time::Moment's API is closer to DateTime's. Being an XS module, it's also faster.

BENCHMARKED MODULES

Version numbers shown below are the versions used when running the sample benchmark.

Date::DayOfWeek 1.22

FAQ

What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module?

An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more details.

What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?

Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution):

% cpanm-cpanmodules -n CalculatingDayOfWeek

Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules distribution):

% cpanmodules ls-entries CalculatingDayOfWeek | cpanm -n

or Acme::CM::Get:

% perl -MAcme::CM::Get=CalculatingDayOfWeek -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n

or directly:

% perl -MAcme::CPANModules::CalculatingDayOfWeek -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::CalculatingDayOfWeek::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n

This Acme::CPANModules module contains benchmark instructions. You can run a benchmark for some/all the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module using the bencher CLI (from Bencher distribution):

% bencher --cpanmodules-module CalculatingDayOfWeek

This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful result for lcpan related-mods command when it comes to finding related modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules" are found.

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
