Re^7: Gettting the last Friday of every month using Time::Piece

For example, $time->mon returns the month number (1-12) while $time->m
+onth returns the abbreviated name of the month.

Less is more:

         $t->mon                 # 1 = January
         $t->_mon                # 0 = January
         $t->monname             # Feb
         $t->month               # same as $t->monname
         $t->fullmonth           # February

I much prefer the above documentation over renaming mon() and month() to month_number_starting_with_January_at_index_zero() and abbreviated_month_name(), or verbose 'explanations' cluttering up the place. Perhaps day_of_week() could say "same as $t->_wday()", but it seems pretty obvious to me that that is the case.

I infer from your response that, as far as you know, the answer to the question I asked is that there is not an explanation of Time::Piece::_wday in the module's documentation.

You infer incorrectly. IMHO, the amount of explanation already given is sufficient, and very little, if anything, should be added.

What's the difference between `Time::Piece::_wday` and `Time::Piece::day_of_week`?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

What's the difference between Time::Piece::_wday and Time::Piece::day_of_week? What's the difference between: `$t->_wday # 0 = Sunday` [download] And: `$t->day_of_week # 0 = Sunday` [download] Answer: One is spelt "_wday", and the other is spelt "day_of_week". But I thought I already answered that question above (if you read carefully). But you can also tell by the source code (as a last resort): `*day_of_week = \&_wday;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

But I thought I already answered that question above (if you read carefully). You did, and I overlooked it. Mea culpa. I'm sorry. But you can also tell by the source code (as a last resort): `*day_of_week = \&_wday;` I had actually done just that before I posted my question. There's always the source code, of course.
