note Not_a_Number <p>Hi.</p> <p>A couple of other remarks:</p> <ul> <li><p>You go to a lot of trouble to validate and then open the input file given on the command line, but then you never actually read from the said file...</p></li> <li>You increment <c>month</c> by 1 in this line:<br /> <c>$month = sprintf("%02d", $month+1);</c> <p>but, as you have already added 60 days, this will add a further 30 (or 31, or 28, or whatever).</p></li> <li>In fact, assuming that you don't want to increment <c>month</c>, that whole chunk of code (four lines) could be simplified to:</li> <c>my $deadline = sprintf '%d-%02d-%02d 00:00:00', Add_Delta_Days( Today, 60 );</c> </li> 968777 968777
