in thread Gettting the last Friday of every month using Time::Piece

For example, $time->mon returns the month number (1-12) while $time->m +onth returns the abbreviated name of the month.
Less is more:
$t->mon # 1 = January $t->_mon # 0 = January $t->monname # Feb $t->month # same as $t->monname $t->fullmonth # February
I much prefer the above documentation over renaming mon() and month() to month_number_starting_with_January_at_index_zero() and abbreviated_month_name(), or verbose 'explanations' cluttering up the place. Perhaps day_of_week() could say "same as $t->_wday()", but it seems pretty obvious to me that that is the case.
I infer from your response that, as far as you know, the answer to the question I asked is that there is not an explanation of Time::Piece::_wday in the module's documentation.
You infer incorrectly. IMHO, the amount of explanation already given is sufficient, and very little, if anything, should be added.

    What's the difference between Time::Piece::_wday and Time::Piece::day_of_week?

      What's the difference between Time::Piece::_wday and Time::Piece::day_of_week?
      What's the difference between:
      $t->_wday # 0 = Sunday
      And:
      $t->day_of_week # 0 = Sunday
      Answer: One is spelt "_wday", and the other is spelt "day_of_week". But I thought I already answered that question above (if you read carefully). But you can also tell by the source code (as a last resort):
      *day_of_week = \&_wday;
        But I thought I already answered that question above (if you read carefully).

        You did, and I overlooked it. Mea culpa. I'm sorry.

        But you can also tell by the source code (as a last resort):  *day_of_week = \&_wday;

        I had actually done just that before I posted my question. There's always the source code, of course.
