FrenchRevolutionary version 0.05

This is a companion module to DateTime.pm. It implements the French Revolutionary calendar and decimal time.

INSTALLATION

The preferred way, which requires Module::Build, is:

perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install

Note: This module uses Roman.pm. This is an old module (1997), released at a time when the Makefile.PL mantra was not always done. As stated in this module, it is installed by "manually" copying it into lib's proper subdirectory. Yet, it seems that Module::Build is able to cope with such a situation.

Note to the users of old filesystems.

All filenames except one (the most important) respect the 8.3 convention used by MS-DOS. If you use an old filesystem such as MS-DOS's filesystem or the old Unix filesystem with a 14-char limit, you should find how the name
lib/DateTime/Calendar/FrenchRevolutionary.pm has been mangled, rename it to a name compatible with your filesystem and replace all occurrences of the string "FrenchRevolutionary" with the new name in all files, including MANIFEST.

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!
