Date::Holidays::UK - Determine UK Public Holidays

  use Date::Holidays::UK;
  my ($year, $month, $day) = (localtime)[ 5, 4, 3 ];
  $year  += 1900;
  $month += 1;
  print "Woohoo" if is_uk_holiday( $year, $month, $day );

Naming modules is a tricky thing, especially when similar modules already exist. The awkwardness can be further excaberated when the similar modules don't have consistent apis.

In this case we started by contrasting Date::Japanese::Holiday and Date::Holidays::DE. We've crossed the streams by taking the simple is_*_holiday interface from Date::Japanese::Holiday, and taken the Date::Holidays::<country> convention from Date::Holidays::DE. We hope nothing explodes.

Returns the name of the Holiday that falls on the given day, or undef if there is none.

We only currently contain the DTI bank holiday detail, which at the time of writing only covers the years 2004-2007.
