(jeffa) 2Re: Converting output from numeric values to text

[jeffa]

Couldn't .... resist .... temptation:

my %month = map { $_ => 1 } qw(jan feb mar apr may jun jul aug sep oct
+ nov dec);

Or a hash slice:

my %month;
my @month = qw(jan feb mar apr may jun jul aug sep oct nov dec);
@month{@month} = (1) x @month;

UDPATE:
sorry about that - please allow me to fix it:

my @month = qw(jan feb mar apr may jun jul aug sep oct nov dec);
my %month = map { $_ => $month[$_] } (0..$#month);
...
$m_name = $month{$m_number};

I don't think your code produces what the original poster OnTheEdge wanted. Yours would result in a hash with the month names as keys and 1 as values for each.

He wants to convert month numbers into month names.

$m_name = qw(jan feb mar apr may jun jul aug sep oct nov dec)[$m_numbe
+r];
