my $stamp = $prev->first_second;
my $in_yr = $month->delta(12);

METHODS

new

Month::Simple->new();             # current month, using $^T as base
Month::Simple->new('2011-01');
Month::Simple->new('2011-01-02'); # day is ignored
Month::Simple->new(timestamp => time); # extract month from UNIX timestamp

Creates a new Month::Simple object. If no argument is provided, the current month (based on the startup of the script, i.e. based on $^T) is returned.

The argument can be a date in format YYYY-MM, YYYYMM, YYYY-MM-DD or a Date::Simple object. Days are ignored.

prev

Returns a new Month::Simple object for the month before the invocant month.

next

Returns a new Month::Simple object for the month after the invocant month.

delta(N)

Returns a new Month::Simple object. For positive N, it goes forward N months, and backwards for negative N.

first_second

Returns a UNIX timestamp for the first second of the month.

last_second

month

Returns the month as an integer between 1 and 12.
