Re: ISO 8601 week number

[jasonk]

Or the really easy way...

use DateTime;
print DateTime->now->week_number,"\n";

[larryk]

And nowadays the same thing with a core module

perl -MTime::Piece -e "print localtime->week"

[wol]

I'll vote for that.

Sigh. I don't know how long I looked for a simple solution before I gave up and wrote one, but somehow I never saw the DateTime option. Still, I think it's worth publishing the algorithm, even if it's only a benefit for people who need to implement it in something other than perl...

I might simplify some code next week.

PS - I wonder why I can see the module on CPAN, but not via PPM in any of Active's repositories
