Re^2: Calculating holidays

I'd probably write the thanksgiving function like this, because the keep-adding-one pattern gives me the jibblies.

    my $dt = DateTime->new(year=>$year, month=>11, day=>22);
    $dt->add(days=>(4 - $dt->dow())%7);

Yes, that's a good point, the loop isn't very elegant. Personally I still like to anchor things at the beginning or end of the month, so I might write: `my $dt = DateTime->new(year=>$year, month=>11); $dt->add( days=>(4-$dt->dow())%7, weeks=>3 );` [download] (But that's just getting nitpicky `;-)` )	[reply] [d/l] [select]
