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.

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
