DESCRIPTION

Date::Calendar::Bahai is a class representing dates in the Baháʼí calendar. It allows you to convert a Baháʼí date into Gregorian or into other implemented calendars, and it allows you to convert dates from Gregorian or from other calendars into Baháʼí.

The Date::Calendar::Bahai class gives the early version of the Baháʼí calendar, which is synchronised with the Gregorian calendar. The new version, after the 2015 reform, is partially implemented in Date::Calendar::Bahai::Astronomical, included in this distribution.
