Hi everybody, I've not been using DateTime for very long and got recommended it by our hosting partners, really happy with it etc... But I've come across a situation where I want to do something standardish with it and there doesn't seem to be any provision for it. The reason I'm mailing the list is that I'm amazed no-one has done this before which is leading me to a suspicion that there's a good reason why!
So, what I want to do is get the the Bank Holidays for the UK and a few other methods like 'is_this_a_bank_holiday( $dt )' or perhaps something like 'number_of_working_days_in( $dt1, $dt2 )' to take into account weekends. And so on as the project I'm working on requires. Now, the reason I think this is possible is that looking at: http://www.berr.gov.uk/employment/bank-public-holidays/index.html The dates don't appear to be particularly random (they all have v.simple rules) and the only dates I don't really understand, the easter ones, I'm planning on using DateTime::Event::Easter to help me out. Is there anything obvious anyone can see that I'm missing, or any problems with doing this? I'd imagine I'd call this module DateTime::Event::BankHolidays::UK|England but I'm getting a bit ahead of myself now. Ta, Kristian
