if you need this in perl i think Data::Manip might hep:
Date_IsHoliday           $name=&Date_IsHoliday($date);
          This returns undef if $date is not a holiday, or a          string containing the name of the holiday
otherwise.         An empty string is returned for an unnamed holiday.
 


also there is a section on holidays in the 
config file where you can set up your own :      1/1                             = New Year's Day         third Monday
inFeb             = Presidents' Day         fourth Thu in Nov               = Thanksgiving
 


hope this is useful!
