spread-revolutionary-date - Spread date and time from Revolutionary (Republican) Calendar

=head1 VERSION

version 0.54

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<spread-revolutionary-date> is a L<Free Software|https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html> that spreads the current date, expressed in the L<French Revolutionary calendar|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Republican_calendar>, to various socia...

Moreover, you can easily extend these defaults targets with any desired one, see L</"EXTENDING TO NEW TARGETS">, and even spread something else than the revolutionary date, see L</msgmaker> option and L</"EXTENDING TO NEW MESSAGE MAKERS">.

The French Revolutionary calendar, also called Republican calendar, was introduced during the L<French Revolution|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Revolution>, and used from late 1793 to 1805, and also during the L<Paris Commune|https://en.wikipe...

You B<must> have a registered account on each of the targets you want to spread the revolutionary date. And you must get credentials for C<spread-revolutionary-date> to post on C<Mastodon>, C<Bluesky> and C<Twitter>, and also for IA generated message...

The revolutionary date and time is computed thanks to the L<DateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary> Perl module, by Jean Forget.

=head1 USAGE

  # Just execute the script in your shell
  # to spread current date to configured accounts
  # to Bluesky, Twitter, Mastodon, Freenode and Liberachat:
  $ spread-revolutionary-date

  # Or, since this script does nothing but calling
  # the L<App::SpreadRevolutionaryDate> Perl module,
  # use this one-liner:
  $ perl -MApp::SpreadRevolutionaryDate \
      -e 'App::SpreadRevolutionaryDate->new->spread;'

  # Test spreading to Mastodon only:
  $ spread-revolutionary-date \
      --targets=Mastodon --test

  # Test spreading to Twitter only in English:
  $ spread-revolutionary-date \
      --targets=Twitter \
      --test \
      --locale en

  # Spread acab time to Twitter and Liberachat
  # explicit channels
  $ spread-revolutionary-date \
      --targets=Twitter \
