DESCRIPTION

Date::Calendar::Armenian is a class representing dates in the Armenian calendar. It allows you to convert an Armenian date into Gregorian (or possibly other) calendar and the other way.

when creating the Date::Calendar::xxxx instance, you may include a daypart parameter, so the conversion will give the proper result for dates after sunset.
