In a history project I am helping out with, there is a need to convert a bunch of dates from Chinese calendar to Gregorian dates. I googled for solutions, found the Perl library “DateTime::Calendar::Chinese”, and wrote a small script on my FreeBSD machine to show that it works.
It would be good to make a long-term solution good for general consumption, which means the final “product” would need to run on Win32. Except DateTime::Calendar::Chinese doesn’t appear to work under ActiveState Perl. Porting DateTime::Calendar::Chinese to Python (which seems to have better Win32 support) would be a long term solution, but I don’t have the time nor the immediate expertise to do it.
