Two words (three?):
use Time::Piece!
use strict;
use warnings;
use Time::Piece;
my $t = localtime;
my @d = $t->day_list;
printf "%s, %s %d, %d\n\n\n",
$d[($_ + 1) % 7],
$t->fullmonth,
$_,
$t->year
for 1..$t->month_last_day
;
Whoopsie Daisy! This only works for this month and this
year ... see the modulus up there? That was suppose to
be
($_ - 1) % 7 and i accidentally added one
instead. That, of course, doesn't work, but my blunder
managed to give "correct looking" results. Here is a better version whose output is identical to yours (the days of
the names are not abbreviated):
use Time::Piece;
my $t = localtime;
my $last = $t->month_last_day;
$t -= Time::Piece::ONE_DAY * ($t->mday - 1);
for (1..$last) {
printf "%s, %s %d, %d\n\n\n",
$t->fullday,
$t->fullmonth,
$t->mday,
$t->year
;
$t += Time::Piece::ONE_DAY;
}
[This still] doesn't save to a file, but redirection
works just as well, IMHO. Hope this helps. :)

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).
