I know it's messy, but I have no training in PERL, I am trying to

################ whether or not leapyear

($myleap = 0 )
}
if ($Calend eq "b" ) {$myleap += 1}
if ($Calend eq "d" ) {$myleap += 1}
if ($Calend eq "f" ) {$myleap += 1}

The usual way to calculate a leap year is:
sub is_leap_year {
my $year = shift;
return $year % 4 == 0 && $year % 100 != 0 || $year % 400 == 0
}
################ whether year starts on a Sunday
{
($mystart = 0 )
}
if ($Calend eq "a" || $Calend eq "b") {$mystart -= 0}
if ($Calend eq "c" || $Calend eq "d") {$mystart -= 1}
if ($Calend eq "e" || $Calend eq "f") {$mystart -= 2}
if ($Calend eq "g" || $Calend eq "h") {$mystart -= 3}
use Time::Local;
sub year_starts_sunday {
my $year = shift;
return !( gmtime timegm 0, 0, 12, 1, 0, $year - 1900 )[ 6 ]
}
