      1 # Leap
      2 
      3 Welcome to Leap on Exercism's Perl 5 Track.
      4 If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.

      6 ## Instructions
      7 
      8 Given a year, report if it is a leap year.
      9 
     10 The tricky thing here is that a leap year in the Gregorian calendar occurs:
     11 
     12 ```text
     13 on every year that is evenly divisible by 4
     14   except every year that is evenly divisible by 100
     15     unless the year is also evenly divisible by 400
     16 ```
     17 
     18 For example, 1997 is not a leap year, but 1996 is.  1900 is not a leap
     19 year, but 2000 is.

     21 ## Notes
     22 
     23 Though our exercise adopts some very simple rules, there is more to
     24 learn!
     25 
     26 For a delightful, four minute explanation of the whole leap year
     27 phenomenon, go watch [this youtube video][video].
