I wonder if it's worth making a stand and pointing people to the DateTime module instead. It has methods for getting the Julian Day $ perl -MDateTime -le'print DateTime->today->jd' 2453401.5 The modified Julian Day $ perl -MDateTime -le'print DateTime->today->mjd' 53401 And the day of the year (which is what some people think of as a Julian day) $ perl -MDateTime -le'print DateTime->today->doy' 31 I'm all for encouraging wider use of the DateTime modules instead of a group of disparate modules with no uniform API.
