Re^2: Gettting the last Friday of every month using Time::Piece

[Jim]

Here's my refactored version of your demonstration script:

use strict;
use warnings;

use Time::Piece;

my $year = shift @ARGV || 2014;

my $p = '%Y/%m/%d';    # strptime() format
my $f = '%a %b %d %Y'; # strftime() format

my $t = Time::Piece->new();

for my $month (1 .. 12) {
    # Compute the last day of the month...
    my $monthLastDay
        = $t->strptime("$year/$month/1", $p)->month_last_day();

    # Compute the day of the week of the last day of the month (Sunday
+ = 1)...
    my $weekDay
        = $t->strptime("$year/$month/$monthLastDay", $p)->wday();

    # Compute the day of the last Friday of the month (Friday = 6)...
    my $lastFridayDate
        = $monthLastDay - (($weekDay - 6) % 7);

    # Compute the last Friday of the month...
    my $lastFriday
        = $t->strptime("$year/$month/$lastFridayDate", $p)->strftime($
+f);

    print "$lastFriday\n";
}

exit 0;
