NAME Date::Discordian - Calculate the Discordian date of a particular day SYNOPSIS use Date::Discordian; $discordian = discordian(time); $epochtime = inverse_discordian('bureaucracy 47, 3166'); DESCRIPTION Calculate the Discordian date of a particular 'real' date. Date::Discordian exports just one function - discordian() - which, when given a time value, returns a string, giving the Discordian date for the given day. I'm really not sure how this would ever be used, so if you actually use this, send me a note. Bugs/To Do a timestamp-ish form of Discordian (similar to Julian) conversion back from Discordian to epoch more chicken references. General comments You can find out more about the Discordian Calendar at http://www.concentric.net/~darkfox/DiscoCal.html and at a plethora of other sites on the Internet. It is related to the Principia Discordia (http://members.xoom.com/ffungo/titlepage.html) and the "religion" of Discordianism. I suppose that there are people that actually take this sort of thing seriously. But then, there are people that collect Beanie Babies, so what do you expect?
