Perhaps a method should be added: $t->monthstr() which would return the
month as a shortened form (qw/Jan Feb .../) and $t->monthstring() which
would return the month in long form (qw/January February .../).

Naturally the methods (and appropriate hash keys) would be named better.

And naturally using a different language option would spit out different
month names. For example:

  lang is English  => qw/January February .../

  lang is German   => qw/Januar Februar .../

  lang is Japanese => qw/ichigatsu nigatsu .../ (only in UTF-16, natch)

Just think of the amount of instantly translated software!


cheers!
