Keep a list of holidays days by day-of-the year, rather than month/day (you could even do it by epoc time instead). Here is some code that might help: use warnings;
use strict;
use POSIX;
my $yday = (localtime())[7];
print "Today is $yday\n";
my $mday = 25;
my $month = 12;
my $year = 2010;
my $time_t = POSIX::mktime(0, 0, 0, $mday-1, $month-1, $year-1900);
my $cday = (localtime($time_t))[7];
print "Christmas day 2010 is day $cday\n";
You can still store these day numbers as a hash key (with an undef value).

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).
