[Resolved] Shire Calender

[Jebs]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew where I can get a Shire Calender generator like the Date-Tolkien-Shire-1.12 for PERL in CPAN.

Pretty much the module coverts the date to the Shire Calender created by J.R.R. Tolkien for Lord of the Rings.

If anyone can help, that'd be great, thanks. 😃

would it be too hard to try and wade through the Perl code and convert it manually?

I wouldnt think so. Perl and PHP syntax is very similar. If i wasnt such a Perl newbie, id give it ago.

Hey, I was bored.

Not ready for production use. Not properly tested (in fact, tested only to the point where it would compile), and a lot more could be done to cast it in the PHP idiom.

But the Perl code is straightforward. No weirdness with special $-variables, no funky referencing/dereferencing, no anonymous functions, not even a regexp...

that's some pretty cool code, Weedpacket... not very clean, but it might be useful sometime 🙂

Sweeett! bowes to Weedpacket

I was pretty desperate to use it so I simply made a CGI/Perl script that wrote the dates to a file and used PHP to retrieve it. :S

It worked, but this will be much more help full. I wont have to worry about Cron jobs. 😃

I wanted to convert it myself but I am not very familiar with Perl. :S

Thanks again Weedpacket.
