I'm looking for code to assist with managing recuring calender events for a light weight Tk based calendar application I'm working on.

So far I've found Calendar::Schedule, but unless find_next_time does undocumented magic, it doesn't seem that there is any search facility and what the module really wants to do is generate HTML - which is fine, but not for my application.

Date::Manip supports Events that look like they could do the job, but all the recuring stuff is documented as "NYI" - not yet implemented and the documentation for recuring events is rather sparse.

I'd like to be able to specify all the usual stuff:

• every Monday
• the second Monday of each month
• the 3rd of January every year
• the last Tuesday of each month

and a few slightly more interesting events like:

• the first and third Tuesday of each month
• the Friday before the first Tuesday of each month
• the Saturday closest to the new moon each month

Is there something around that does this stuff or a good part of it, or do I persevere with something like Date::Manip and add some wrapping around it?
