What if I wanted to know inside a range of years which had a December 31st that was on a Monday (or on a weekday)?
Maybe we need some module that implements SQL against a dataset of the entirity of time!
$datetime_set = DateTime::SQL->new("SELECT datetime FROM gregorian WHERE month=12 AND day=31 and dow < 6 AND year > 1900 AND year < 2000");
"FROM gregorian" would be optional, and just there for SQL-ness:
$datetime_set = DateTime::SQL->new("SELECT datetime WHERE month=12 AND day=31 and dow < 6 AND year > 1900 AND year < 2000");
Selecting 'datetime' means to return datetime objects. All other accessors are available:
@months = DateTime::SQL->new("SELECT month WHERE dow=5 AND day=13 AND year=2003");
# Get months with Friday 13th.
While I'm only kidding, at the same time it might be a good thing. It would be slow I imagine, but it would be very useful.
Cheers! Rick
