1 DateTime is a class for the representation of date and time combinations,
2 and is part of the Perl DateTime project.
4 It represents the Gregorian calendar, extended backwards in time before
5 its creation (in 1582).
6 This is sometimes known as the "proleptic Gregorian calendar".
7 In this calendar, the first day of the calendar (the epoch), is the first
8 day of year 1, which corresponds to the date which was (incorrectly)
9 believed to be the birth of Jesus Christ.
11 The calendar represented does have a year 0, and in that way differs
12 from how dates are often written using "BCE/CE" or "BC/AD".
