Re: calcweek

Not to muck about it, but where would the main differences/benefits be against something like


perl -MDate::Manip -e 'print UnixDate( "next Sunday", "%W"), "\n";'
[download]

?

Thanks,

I'm not 100% sure but calendar weeks in Europe and US of A differ. ISO 8601 start with Monday while US weeks start on Sunday. Also the definition of the first week differ. in US it's the week containing January 1st. in ISO 8601 it's the week having at least 4 days `s$$([},&%#}/&/]+}%&{});#$&&s&&$^X.($'^"%]=\&(\|?{%` `+`.+=%;.#_}\&"^"-+%*).}%:##%}={~=~:.")&e&&s""`$''`"e	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I didn't even know about the existence of Date::Manip, and your solution works as well. I'm a relative noob in Perl. But hey, according to the Perl spirit, TIMTOWTDI (there's more than one way to do it). :-) thanks for your reply. Now I know a way to do it that's a lot shorter. :-)	[reply]
