Hijri Calendar + searching datetime mail archives

[Matt Sisk]

At some point there was discussion of a Hijri calendar on this mailing 
list, but I'll be darned if I can find the references. Is there an easy 
way to search the old messages? (the main links don't provide such a 
thing as far as I can tell)

Anyway, there's some code posted out on perlmonks pertaining to Hijri 
calendar conversions. I have no idea of the accuracy and it doesn't 
involve DateTime. Perhaps Alex could be persuaded to work on a DateTime 
implementation:
