=head1 NAME
Date::Hijri - Perl extension to convert islamic (hijri) and gregorian dates.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Date::Hijri;
# convert gregorian to hijri date
my ($hd, $hm, $hy) = g2h($gd, $gm, $gy);
# convert hijri to gregorian date
my ($gd, $gm, $gy) = h2g($hd, $hm, $hy);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This simple module converts gregorian dates to islamic (hijri) and vice versa.
The dates must be given as an array containing the day, month and year, and return the
corresponding date as a list with the same elements.
=head1 EXAMPLES
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Date::Hijri;
print join("-", g2h(22,8,2003)); # prints 23-6-1424
print join("-", h2g(23,6,1424)); # prints 22-8-2003

=head1 DISCLAIMER
I haven't really tested if the converted dates are right and hope
someone will point out mistakes.
Hijri calculations are very difficult. The islamic calendar is a pure
lunar calendar, the new month starts by a physical (i.e. human)
sighting of the crescent moon at a given locale. So it depends on
several factors (like weather) that make it unreliable to calculate
islamic calendars in advance. As a result the dates calculated by
Date::Hijri can be false by one or more days.
Please see http://www.rabiah.com/convert/introduction.html for further
explanation.
I'm not a muslim, but interested in Islamic culture, religion and
calendar system. I believe in the Internet as a chance to realize that
we live in a small world with multiple cultures, religions and
philosophies. We can learn from others and develop tolerance, respect
and understanding.
Salam Alaikum (peace be with you)
