Date::Calc has what you're looking for -> Week_of_Year()

Sure , why not? You'd need to know the date format to start of course.
I don't mess with dates personally a lot so I'd say have
a look on search.cpan.org for a module to do that.

Also perldoc may be able to help you.

Sorry to be so vague, just wanted to givve you a place to start looking.

Check out Time::Local. It makes it easy to break down a formatted date
field and put it into Perl time format.

Try this;


#!/usr/bin/perl
use Date::Calc qw(Week_Number Week_of_Year);

@t=localtime;

$week = Week_Number($t[5]+1900,$t[4]+1,$t[3]); #Deprecated
print " From Date::Calc Week Number is $week \n";

($week,$year) = Week_of_Year($t[5]+1900,$t[4]+1,$t[3]); #Preferred
print " From Date::Calc Week of Year is $week \n";

Let's see the stats:

Number of lines of original question: 1
Number of lines of closing salutation: 1
Number of lines of sig: 2

Number of lines of COMPLETELY USELESS LEGAL DISCLAIMER: 27 lines after wrapping

Here's my boilerplate to reply to your boilerplate:

You have exceeded the 4-line .sig boilerplate limit with a worthless
unenforcable disclaimer. Please remove this text from future postings

And I do this publicly so that it goes into the archives, so others

*is* a ready solution to it.

Why not write it yourself?

You need to know:

- Which day of the week is the 'first'.

- Which was the first week of the year that had four or more days.
That's week one.

Then do the sums/arithmetic/math/mathematics/calculations (what /do/
people prefer?)

BTW I agree wholeheartedly with Randal. He may be a Yank but he's
not all bad :) I'm surprised the Mirror legaloids can be such
idiots. Sometimes I wish I could be anational instead of being
branded with rubbish like this. At least I read the Independent
instead!

This message thread made me curious about just what constitutes the first
week of the year. Is there a standard definition or are we making one here?

I got this from the British 'Letts' diary manufacturer about ten years back.
Clearly it makes sense, as a week is, usefully, an odd number of days long
and can be assigned into either one year or the other. The big difference
is on which day a week starts, which is both nationally and culturally
variant.

Unfortunately, if the person is writing from work, the disclaimer is
likely required by his employer. I know that I have a similar one at work.
And not including it is grounds for termination <stupid>.

The only way around this is to use a personal email, like I do. But he may
need the help for work and at work. Supposedly, I cannot use my personal
email from work. But I know ways and means around it and am stealthy
enough that I am not likely to get caught.

I'm sitting at work now, but using my home email.

Except that John's boss is on the list too!

No, my boss is not UNIX or even Windows literate. He is a BOSS, not a
GRUNT. He may, from years past, remember some COBOL (remember that?). If I
told him that I was on a Perl list, he would think that I was talking
about the things that come out of oysters.

I don't know about John's boss but I'm not even on "the list." I'm reading
this in a newsgroup via GigaNews.
