    my $dhc = Date::Holidays::CA->new({
        province => 'ON', language => 'EN'
    });

Two parameters can be specified: B<province> and B<language>.

=head2 Object Methods

=head3 get()

Retrieve fields of a Date::Holidays::CA object.

    $prov = $dhc->('province');

=head3 set()

Alter fields of a Date::Holidays::CA object.  Specify parameters just
as with new().

    $dhc->set({province => 'QC', language => 'FR/EN'});

=head2 Combination Methods

These methods are callable in either object-oriented or procedural style.

=head3 is_holiday()

For a given year, month (1-12) and day (1-31), return 1 if the given
day is a holiday; 0 if not.  When using procedural calling style, an
additional hashref of options can be specified.

    $holiday_p = is_holiday($year, $month, $day);

    $holiday_p = is_holiday($year, $month, $day, {
        province => 'BC', language => 'EN'
    });

    $holiday_p = $dhc->is_holiday($year, $month, $day);

=head3 is_ca_holiday()

Similar to C<is_holiday>.  Return the name of the holiday occurring on
the specified date if there is one; C<undef> if there isn't.

    print $dhc->is_ca_holiday(2001, 1, 1);          # "New Year's Day"

=head3 is_holiday_dt()

As is_holiday, but accepts a DateTime object in place of a numeric year,
month, and day.

    $holiday_p = is_holiday($dt, {province => 'SK', language => 'EN'});

    $holiday_p = $dhc->is_holiday($dt);

=head3 holidays()

For the given year, return a hashref containing all the holidays for
that year.  The keys are the date of the holiday in C<mmdd> format
(eg '1225' for December 25); the values are the holiday names.

    my $calendar = holidays($year, {province => 'MB', language => 'EN'});
    print $calendar->('0701');               # "Canada Day"

    my $calendar = $dhc->holidays($year);
    print $calendar->('1111');               # "Remembrance Day"

=head3 ca_holidays()

Same as C<holidays()>.

=head3 holidays_dt()

Similar to C<holidays()>, after a fashion: returns a hashref with the
holiday names as the keys and DateTime objects as the values.

    my $calendar = $dhc->holidays_dt($year);

=head1 SPECIFICATIONS

The following holidays are recognized:

=over

=item I<New Year's Day>

January 1.

=item I<Islander Day>

PE.  Originally added in 2009 as the second Monday in February, this
holiday will be revised to the third Monday in February starting in
2010.  I<This module shows Islander Day as falling on the third Monday>
-- see the I<KNOWN BUGS> section.

=item I<Family Day / Louis Riel Day>

The Third Monday of February is Family Day in AB, SK, and ON, and
Louis Riel Day in MB.

=item I<St. Patrick's Day>

The Friday falling before Easter Sunday.

CA, QC.  The Monday following Easter Sunday.

=item I<St. Patrick's Day>

NL.  Nearest Monday to April 23.

=head1 KNOWN BUGS

B<Historical holidays are not supported>; the current set of holidays
will be projected into the past or future.  For instance, Louis Riel Day
was added as a Manitoba holiday in 2008, but if you use this module to
generate a holiday list for 2007, Louis Riel Day will be present.
Also, PEI's Islander Day was first observed on the second Monday of 2009,
but will subsequently be observed on the third Monday of the month; this
module will always show it as occurring on the third Monday.
This will be addressed if there is demand to do so.

B<Several lesser holidays are not yet implemented>:

=over

=item I<Calgary Stampede>

I am told that the morning of the Stampede Parade is commonly given as
a half-day holiday by employers within the city of Calgary, but I
haven't been able to verify this, nor does there seem to be a way to
mathematically calculate when parade day will be scheduled.

=item I<St Johns Regatta Day>

Regatta Day is a municipal holiday in St Johns, NL, and it is scheduled for
the first Wednesday in August.  However, if the weather on Quidi Vidi Lake
does not look promising on Regatta morning, the event I<(and the attendant
holiday)> are postponed until the next suitable day.

How to programatically determine the day of this holiday has not yet been
satisfactorily ascertained.  L<Acme::Test::Weather|Acme::Test::Weather>
has been considered.

=item I<Gold Cup and Saucer Day (PEI)>

Some few employees apparently get the day of the Gold Cup and Saucer
harness race as a holiday, but I haven't been able to independently
verify this.

=item I<Construction Holiday (Quebec)>

In Quebec, the vast majority of the construction industry gets the last
full two weeks of July off, and it's also a popular time for other folks
to book vacation.  Since this technically only applies to a single
industry, I haven't added it to this module, but I will if there is
sufficient demand.

=back

=head1 HELP WANTED

As you can see from the I<KNOWN BUGS> section above, our holiday structure
can be fairly baroque.  Different provinces and cities get different
holidays; sometimes these are paid statutory holidays that are
included in Employment Standards legislation; other times they are
unofficial holidays that are given by convention and codified only in
collective agreements and municipal by-laws.  Thus, it's hard to know
what's commonly considered "a holiday" in the various regions of the
country without actually having lived and worked there.

I only have direct experience with British Columbia and Ontario; my
impression of what folks in other provinces consider to be a holiday
is based on research on the WWW.  I've tried to define a holiday as
any day when "the majority of the workforce either get the day off
(paid or unpaid) or receive pay in lieu."  If the holidays list in this
module doesn't accurately reflect the application of that definition
to your region of Canada, I'd like to hear about it.

Assistance with French translations of the holiday names and this
documentation is most welcome.  My French isn't all that great,
but I'm happy to learn.  =)

Finally, I'd appreciate an email from any users of this module.
I'm curious to know who has picked it up, and any feedback you might
have will shape its future development.

=head1 CAVEATS

For reasons outlined in the two sections above, please be forewarned
that what days are considered holidays may change with versions of
the module.
