This software provides the list of public holidays that are observed in England and Wales. It helps users plan for upcoming holidays and schedule their work accordingly. The software updates itself regularly, making it easier to stay up to date with changes in the holiday schedule.
Date::Holidays::UK::EnglandAndWales is a Perl module that is based on the previously established module, Date::Holidays::UK, created by Richard Clamp, Amelie Guyot and Jerome Parfant. However, this module has been specifically designed to cater to a set of clientele who require holiday listings for England and Wales that were not included within the original module.
Naming conventions can be a tricky thing, as noted by the authors, which is why the module name specifically specifies "EnglandAndWales." This distinction was made because the original UK module could not include holidays for Northern Ireland and Scotland while maintaining its API.
To utilize this module, simply add "use Date::Holidays::UK::EnglandAndWales" to your script, and specify the year, month and day needed for your holiday check. The module also provides a warning if a listed holiday is applicable. A key point to note is that the listed holidays are specifically for England and Wales, and may not apply to Scotland or Northern Ireland.
