NAME
    HTML::CalendarMonthSimple - Perl Module for Generating HTML
    Calendars

SYNOPSIS
       use HTML::CalendarMonthSimple;
       $cal = new HTML::CalendarMonthSimple('year'=>2001,'month'=>2);
       $cal->width('50%');
       $cal->border(10);
       $cal->header('Text at the top of the Grid');
       $cal->setcontent(14,"Valentine's Day");
       $cal->setdatehref(14, 'http://www.lovers.com/');
       $cal->addcontent(14,"<p>Don't forget to buy flowers.");
       $cal->addcontent(13,"Guess what's tomorrow?");
       $cal->bgcolor('pink');
       print $cal->as_HTML;

DESCRIPTION
    HTML::CalendarMonthSimple is a Perl module for generating,
    manipulating, and printing a HTML calendar grid for a specified
    month. It is intended as a faster and easier-to-use alternative
    to HTML::CalendarMonth.

    This module requires the Date::Calc module, which is available
    from CPAN if you don't already have it.

INTERFACE METHODS
new(ARGUMENTS)
    Naturally, new() returns a newly constructed calendar object.
    Recognized arguments are 'year' and 'month', to specify which
    month's calendar will be used. If either is omitted, the current
    value is used. An important note is that the month and the year
    are NOT the standard C or Perl -- use a month in the range 1-12
    and a real year, e.g. 2001.

       # Examples:
       # Create a calendar for this month.
       $cal = new HTML::CalendarMonthSimple();
       # One for a specific month/year
       $cal = new HTML::CalendarMonthSimple('month'=>2,'year=>2000);
       # One for "the current month" in 1997
       $cal = new HTML::CalendarMonthSimple('year'=>1997);

setcontent(DATE,STRING)
addcontent(DATE,STRING)
getcontent(DATE)
    These methods are used to control the content of date cells
    within the calendar grid. The DATE argument may be a numeric
    date or it may be a string describing a certain occurrence of a
    weekday, e.g. "2wed" or "3MONDAY" to represent "the second
    wednesday of this month" and "the third Monday of this month".
    The weekdays may be their 3-letter truncation or the full name
    of the day, and are case-insensitive.

       # Examples:
       # The cell for the 15th of the month will now say something.
       $cal->setcontent(15,"An Important Event!");
       # Later down the program, we want the content to be boldfaced.
       $foo = "<b>" . $cal->getcontent(15) . "</b>";
       $cal->setcontent(15,$foo);
       # Or we could get extra spiffy:
       $cal->setcontent(15,"<b>" . $cal->getcontent(15) . "</b>");

       # Example:
       # addcontent() does not clober existing content.
       # Also, if you setcontent() to '', you've deleted the content.
       $cal->setcontent(16,'');
       $cal->addcontent(16,"<p>Hello World</p>");
       $cal->addcontent(16,"<p>Hello Again</p>");
       print $cal->getcontent(16); # Prints 2 sentences

       # The second Sunday of May is some holiday or another...
       $cal->addcontent('2sunday','Some Special Day') if ($cal->month() == 5);
       # So is the third wednesday of this month
       $cal->setcontent('3Wed','Third Wednesday!');
       # What's scheduled for the second Friday?
       $cal->getcontent('2FRIDAY');

setdatehref(DATE,URL_STRING)
getdatehref(DATE)
    These methods are used to control the content of date cells
    within the calendar grid.

       # Example:
       # The date number in the cell for the 15th of the month will 
       # be a link to the sourceforge website
       $cal->setdatehref(15,"http://sourceforge.net/");

       # Example:
       # You want to add to an URL
       $cal->setdatehref(15, $getdatehref(15)."projects/perl/");

as_HTML()
    This method returns a string containing the HTML table for the
    month.

       # Example:
       print $cal->as_HTML();

    It's okay to continue modifying the calendar after calling
    as_HTML(). My guess is that you'd want to call as_HTML() again
    to print the further-modified calendar, but that's your
    business...

year()
month()
monthname()
    These methods simply return the year/month of the calendar.
    monthname() returns the text name of the month, e.g. "December".

border([INTEGER])
    This specifies the value of the border attribute to the <TABLE>
    declaration for the calendar. As such, this controls the
    thickness of the border around the calendar table. The default
    value is 5.

    If a value is not specified, the current value is returned. If a
    value is specified, the border value is changed and the new
    value is returned.

width([INTEGER][%])
    This sets the value of the width attribute to the <TABLE>
    declaration for the calendar. As such, this controls the
    horizintal width of the calendar.

    The width value can be either an integer (e.g. 600) or a
    percentage string (e.g. "80%"). Most web browsers take an
    integer to be the table's width in pixels and a percentage to be
    the table width relative to the screen's width. The default
    width is "100%".

    If a value is not specified, the current value is returned. If a
    value is specified, the border value is changed and the new
    value is returned.

       # Examples:
       $cal->width(600);    # absolute pixel width
       $cal->width("100%"); # percentage of screen size

showdatenumbers([1 or 0])
    If showdatenumbers() is set to 1, then the as_HTML() method will
    put date labels in each cell (e.g. a 1 on the 1st, a 2 on the
    2nd, etc.) If set to 0, then the date labels will not be
    printed. The default is 1.

    If no value is specified, the current value is returned.

    The date numbers are shown in boldface, normal size font. If you
    want to change this, consider setting showdatenumbers() to 0 and
    using setcontent()/addcontent() instead.

showweekdayheaders([1 or 0])
    If showweekdayheaders() is set to 1 (the default) then calendars
    rendered via as_HTML() will display the names of the days of the
    week. If set to 0, the days' names will not be displayed.

    If no value is specified, the current value is returned.

cellalignment([STRING])
    This sets the value of the align attribute to the <TD> tag for
    each day's cell. This controls how text will be centered/aligned
    within the cells.

    Any value can be used, if you think the web browser will find it
    interesting. Some useful alignments are: left, right, center,
    top, and bottom,

    By default, cells are aligned to the left.

header([STRING])
    By default, the current month and year are displayed at the top
    of the calendar grid. This is called the "header".

    The header() method allows you to set the header to whatever you
    like. If no new header is specified, the current header is
    returned.

    If the header is set to an empty string, then no header will be
    printed at all. (No, you won't be stuck with a big empty cell!)

       # Example:
       # Set the month/year header to something snazzy.
       my($y,$m) = ( $cal->year() , $cal->monthname() );
       $cal->header("<center><font size=+2 color=red>$m $y</font></center>\n\n");

bgcolor([STRING])
weekdaycolor([STRING])
weekendcolor([STRING])
todaycolor([STRING])
bordercolor([STRING])
weekdaybordercolor([STRING])
weekendbordercolor([STRING])
todaybordercolor([STRING])
contentcolor([STRING])
weekdaycontentcolor([STRING])
weekendcontentcolor([STRING])
todaycontentcolor([STRING])
headercolor([STRING])
weekdayheadercolor([STRING])
weekendheadercolor([STRING])
    These define the colors of the cells. If a string (which should
    be either a HTML color-code like '#000000' or a color-word like
    'yellow') is supplied as an argument, then the color is set to
    that specified. Otherwise, the current value is returned. To un-
    set a value, try assigning the null string as a value.

    The bgcolor defines the color of all cells. The weekdaycolor
    overrides the bgcolor for weekdays (Monday through Friday), the
    weekendcolor overrides the bgcolor for weekend days (Saturday
    and Sunday), and the todaycolor overrides the bgcolor for
    today's date. (Which may not mean a lot if you're looking at a
    calendar other than the current month.)

    The weekdayheadercolor overrides the bgcolor for the weekday
    headers that appear at the top of the calendar if
    showweekdayheaders() is true, and weekendheadercolor does the
    same thing for the weekend headers. The headercolor overrides
    the bgcolor for the month/year header at the top of the
    calendar.

    The colors of the cell borders may be set: bordercolor
    determines the color of the calendar grid's outside border, and
    is the default color of the inner border for individual cells.
    The inner bordercolor may be overridden for the various types of
    cells via weekdaybordercolor, weekendbordercolor, and
    todaybordercolor.

    Finally, the color of the cells' contents may be set with
    contentcolor, weekdaycontentcolor, weekendcontentcolor, and
    todaycontentcolor. The contentcolor is the default color of cell
    content, and the other methods override this for the appropriate
    days' cells.

       # Example:
       $cal->bgcolor('white');                 # Set the default cell color
       $cal->bordercolor('green');             # Set the default border color
       $cal->contentcolor('black');            # Set the default content color
       $cal->headercolor('yellow');            # Set the color of the Month+Year header
       $cal->weekdayheadercolor('orange');     # Set the color of weekdays' headers
       $cal->weekendheadercolor('pink');       # Set the color of weekends' headers
       $cal->weekendcolor('palegreen');        # Override weekends' cell color
       $cal->weekendcontentcolor('blue');      # Override weekends' content color
       $cal->todaycolor('red');                # Override today's cell color
       $cal->todaycontentcolor('yellow');      # Override today's content color
       print $cal->as_HTML;                    # Print a really ugly calendar!

BUGS, TODO, CHANGES
    It would be nice if the week didn't have to start on Sunday. It
    would also be cool if the weekday headers could be changed
    (Lunes, Martes, Miercoles,...) or suppressed. It'd be nice if
    the month could be translated, as well. These features will
    probably make in into the next version some time in April 2001.
    If anyone wants to take on any of this work, please feel
    invited.

    Changes in 1.01: Added VALIGN to cells, to make alignment work
    with browsers better. Added showweekdayheaders(). Corrected a
    bug that results in the month not fitting on the grid (e.g.
    March 2003). Added getdatehref() and setdatehref(). Corrected a
    bug that causes a blank week to be printed at the beginning of
    some months.

    Changes in 1.02: Added the color methods.

    Changes in 1.03: More color methods!

    Changes in 1.04: Added the "which weekday" capability to
    addcontent(), setcontent(), and getcontent()
