Oxford::Calendar - University of Oxford calendar conversion routines
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use 5.10.0;
use Oxford::Calendar;
use Date::Calc;
say "Today is " . Oxford::Calendar::ToOx(reverse Date::Calc::Today);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module converts University of Oxford dates (Oxford academic dates)
to and from Real World dates, and provides information on Terms of the
University.
The Terms of the University are defined by the
B<Regulations on the number and lengths of terms>, available online from
L<http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/examregs/03-00_REGULATIONS_ON_THE_NUMBER_AND_LENGTH_OF_TERMS.shtml>
This document describes the start and end dates of Oxford Terms.
In addition to this, the dates of Full Term, required to calculate the
week number of the term, are prescribed by Council, and published
periodically in the B<University Gazette>.
Full term comprises weeks 1-8 inclusive, but sometimes, dates outside of
full term are presented in the Oxford academic date format.
This module will optionally provide such dates.
Data for these prescribed dates may be supplied in the file
F</etc/oxford-calendar.yaml>; if this file does not exist, built-in data
will be used. The built-in data is periodically updated from the
semi-authoritative source at
L<http://www.ox.ac.uk/about_the_university/university_year/dates_of_term.html>.
or the authoritative source, the Gazette, available online from
L<http://www.ox.ac.uk/gazette/>.
L<http://www.ox.ac.uk/about_the_university/university_year/index.html>
describes the academic year at Oxford.
=head1 DATE FORMAT
An Oxford academic date has the following format:
=over
<day of week>, <week number>[st,nd,rd,th] week, <term name> <year>
=back
where term name is one of
=over
=item *
Michaelmas (autumn)
=item *
Hilary (spring)
=item *
Trinity (summer)
=back
Example:
Friday, 8th Week, Michaelmas 2007

=head1 FUNCTIONS
=over 3
=item ToOx($day, $month, $year, [\%options])
Given a day, month and year in standard human format (that is, month is
1-12, not 0-11, and year is four digits) will return a string of the
form
Day, xth week, Term year
or an array
(Day, week of term, Term, year)
depending on how it is called. The exact behaviour is modified by the 'mode'
option described below.
If the requested date is not in full term or extended term (see below),
undef will be returned.
If the requested date is not covered by the database, ToOx will die with
an "out of range" error message. Therefore it is recommended to eval ToOx
with appropriate error handling.
%options can contain additional named parameter options:
=over 5
=item mode
Several modes are available:
=over 6
=item full_term
Term dates will only be returned if the date requested is part of a full
term (as defined by the web page above).
=item ext_term
Term dates will only be returned if the date requested is part of an extended
term, or statutory term.
=item nearest
Will return term dates based on the nearest term, even if the date requested
is not part of an extended term (i.e. will include fictional week numbers).
This is currently the default behaviour, for backwards compatibility with
previous releases; this may be changed in future.
=back
=back
=over 4
=item confirmed
If true, ignores dates marked as provisional in the database.

Given a year, month, term in standard human format (that is, month is

=item NextTerm($year, $month, $day)
Given a day, month and year in standard human format (that is, month is
1-12, not 0-11, and year is four digits) will return the next term (whether
or not the date given is in term time).
The term is given as an array in the form (year, term).

=item StatutoryTermDates($year)
Returns a hash reference keyed on terms for a given year, the value of
each being a hash reference containing start and end dates for that term.
The dates are stored as array references containing numeric
year, month, day values.
Note: these are the statutory term dates, not full term dates.

=item Parse($string)
Takes a free-form description of an Oxford calendar date, and attempts
to divine the expected meaning. If the name of a term is not found, the
current term will be assumed. If the description is unparsable, undef
is returned. Otherwise, an array will be returned of the form
C<($year,$term,$week,$day)>.
This function is experimental.

=item FromOx($year, $term, $week, $day)
Converts an Oxford date into a Gregorian date, returning a string of the
form C<DD/MM/YYYY> or undef.
The arguments are of the same format as returned by ToOx in array context;
that is, a four-digit year, the name of the term, the week number, and
the name of the day of week (e.g. 'Sunday').
If the requested date is not covered by the database, FromOx will die with
an "out of range" error message. Therefore it is recommended to eval ToOx
with appropriate error handling.
