NAME App::dateseq - Generate a sequence of dates VERSION This document describes version 0.112 of App::dateseq (from Perl distribution App-dateseq), released on 2022-10-12. FUNCTIONS dateseq Usage: dateseq(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta] Generate a sequence of dates. This utility is similar to Unix seq command, except that it generates a sequence of dates. This function is not exported. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * business => *bool* Only list business days (Mon-Fri), or non-business days. * business6 => *bool* Only list business days (Mon-Sat), or non-business days. * eval => *str* Run perl code for each date. Specified perl code will receive the date as DateTime object in $_and expected to return result to print. * exclude_dow => *date::dow_nums* Do not show dates with these day-of-weeks. * exclude_month => *date::month_nums* Do not show dates with these month numbers. * format_class => *perl::modname* Use a DateTime::Format::* class for formatting. By default, DateTime::Format::Strptime is used with pattern set from the option. * format_class_attrs => *hash* Arguments to pass to constructor of DateTime::Format::* class. * from => *date* Starting date. * header => *str* Add a header row. * include_dow => *date::dow_nums* Only show dates with these day-of-weeks. * include_month => *date::month_nums* Only show dates with these month numbers. * increment => *duration* * limit => *posint* Only generate a certain amount of dates. * limit_monthly => *posint* Only output at most this number of dates for each month. * limit_yearly => *posint* Only output at most this number of dates for each year. * random => *true* Instead of incrementing/decrementing monotonically, generate random date between --to and --from. If you specify this, you have to specify "--to" *and* "--from". Also, currently, if you also specify "--limit-yearly" or "--limit-monthly", the script may hang because it runs out of dates, so be careful when specifying these options combined. * reverse => *true* Decrement instead of increment. * strftime => *str* strftime() format for each date. Default is "%Y-%m-%d", unless when hour/minute/second is specified, then it is "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S". "dateseq" actually uses DateTimeX::strftimeq, so you can embed Perl code for flexibility. For example: % dateseq 2019-11-19 2019-11-25 -f '%Y-%m-%d%( $_->day_of_week == 7 ? "su" : "" )q' will print something like: 2019-11-19 2019-11-20 2019-11-21 2019-11-22 2019-11-23 2019-11-24su 2019-11-25 * to => *date* End date, if not specified will generate an infinite* stream of dates. Returns an enveloped result (an array). First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

AUTHOR perlancar CONTRIBUTING To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub. Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via: % prove -l If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2016, 2015 by perlancar .
