NAME

       Date::Manip::ConfigFile - sample config file

DESCRIPTION

       Date::Manip is a highly configurable module.  Many of the options can be set in a config
       file.  This document includes a sample config file.

       The config file consists of three sections.  The first section is config variables.  This
       is described more fully in the Date::Manip::Config document.

       The second section is the holiday definition section.  The third section is the event
       definition section.  These are both described more fully in the Date::Manip::Holidays
       document.

SAMPLE CONFIG FILE

       The sample config file below works for newer versions of Date::Manip.  Some of the config
       variables may change, or be deprecated, and some may not work with earlier versions of
       Date::Manip, so it is strongly suggested that you check out the documentation for the
       version of Date::Manip you are using to confirm any of the config variables you want to
       include.
