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!

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
