Date::Manip::ConfigFile(3)                 User Contributed Perl Documentation


NAME
       Date::Manip::ConfigFile - sample config file

DESCRIPTION
       Date::Manip is a highly configurable module.  Many of the options can
       be set in a config file.  This document includes a sample config file.

       The config file consists of three sections.  The first section is
       config variables.  This is described more fully in the
       Date::Manip::Config document.

       The second section is the holiday definition section.  The third
       section is the event definition section.  These are both described more
       fully in the Date::Manip::Holidays document.

SAMPLE CONFIG FILE
       The sample config file below works for newer versions of Date::Manip.
       Some of the config variables may change, or be deprecated, and some may
       not work with earlier versions of Date::Manip, so it is strongly
       suggested that you check out the documentation for the version of
       Date::Manip you are using to confirm any of the config variables you
       want to include.
