Hi Monks,
What the best way to get 30 days or month ago from today’s date?
Here is what I have and they all print different dates:
se strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use POSIX qw(strftime);
use Date::Calc qw( Today Add_Delta_Days );
# get todays date:::
my $today = sprintf "%04d%02d%02d", Today();
my $month_ago_1 = strftime("%Y%m%d",localtime(time() - 720*60*60));
my $month_ago_2 = sprintf "%04d/%02d/%02d",Add_Delta_Days( Today(), -3
+0 );
print "\n Today = $today\n\n";
print "$month_ago_1 - $month_ago_1\n";
my @date = localtime;
$date[3] -= 4 * 7;
my $month_ago = sprintf "%04d%02d%02d", @date;
print "\n $month_ago\n";
my $month_ago_3 = strftime('%Y-%m-%d', localtime(time - 4 * 7 * 86400
+));
print "\n $month_ago_3\n";
exit;
Thanks for looking!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
