( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I have the following which I converted from C a long time ago when I was very new to Perl. It was set up for the UK so the Julian/Gregorian change is in 1752.

# ------ sub isLeap # ------ { my $year = shift or croak "isleap(): no year supplied\n"; croak "isLeap(): year not numeric\n" unless $year =~ /^\d+$/; return 0 if $year % 4; return 1 if $year < 1753; return 1 if $year % 100; return 1 unless $year % 400; return 0; } # ------- sub valDate # ------- { my($year, $month, $day) = @_; return 0 unless $year =~ /^\d+$/ and $month =~ /^\d+$/ and $day =~ /^\d+$/; my $daysinm = [ [31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31], [31, 29, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31]]; return 0 if $year < 1 or $year > 9999; return 0 if $month < 1 or $month > 12; return 0 if $day < 1 or $day > $daysinm->[isLeap($year)]->[$month - 1]; return 0 if $year == 1752 and $month == 9 and ($day > 2 and $day < 14); return 1; }

It works for any year from 1 to 9999 (not y10k compliant I'm afraid ;-)

I hope this is of use.

Cheers,

JohnGG

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
