Date::Convert::French_Rev - Jean Forget <J-FORGET@wanadoo.fr>

Date conversion using the French Revolutionary calendar.

This module is obsolete. It is replaced by a module compatible with Dave Rolsky's DateTime.pm. See:
DateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary

This module is a add-on to Mordechai Abzug's Date::Convert module. Since his module is pre-alpha, mine is, too. Another consequence is that this module allows you to convert from or to any calendar implemented in Date::Convert. These calendars are currently Gregorian, Julian, Hebrew and absolute (which is Julian Day Number, with midnight-to-midnight days instead of noon-to-noon).

This module allows you to pretty-print French Revolutionary dates.

You can use this module even if you do not have Perl on your computer. See the alternate install procedure below.

REQUIREMENTS

Date::Convert, by Mordechai Abzug (MORTY) Roman, by OZAWA Sakuro (OZAWA)

INSTALL

First intall Roman.pm and Date::Convert.pm, and then install the normal way:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

Note: if "make test" give you a "dubious" result, one possibility is that you have forgotten to install Roman.pm. I know, it happened to me!

ALTERNATE INSTALL

This module can be installed on a perl-less computer!

All you need, on this computer, is:

• tar and gzip, or compatible software
• a table-aware HTML browser (no Internet connection required if you downloaded the archive from a local network or a CD-ROM)
• a printer.

The installation steps are:

• Gunzip and untar the archive.
• Go to the eg/result subdirectory.
• Open the various files ending in "en.html" (or, if you are a French-speaker, ending in "fr.html") with the HTML browser.
• Print them. That's all!
