As Advent is the beginning of the Christian liturgical calendar, this usually results in the date for Advent in the current year being dates in the past. E.g. The Sundays of Advent returned for 12. March 2016 would be 29. November 2015, 6. December 2015, 13. December 2015, and 20. December 2015. =head1 INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install The development of this module is hosted on GitHub -- L -- and tested via TravisCI. =for html =for html Coverage Status =head1 SUPPORT AND DOCUMENTATION After installing, you can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command. perldoc Date::Advent You can also look for information at: RT, CPAN's request tracker (report bugs here) http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=Date-Advent AnnoCPAN, Annotated CPAN documentation http://annocpan.org/dist/Date-Advent CPAN Ratings http://cpanratings.perl.org/d/Date-Advent Search CPAN http://search.cpan.org/dist/Date-Advent/ =head1 LICENSE AND COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2016 Michael Wayne Arnold This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of either: the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; or the Artistic License.
