good morning!

simeon2000 offered a great solution, but I thought I'd point you in the direction of two excellent date-manipulation modules: Date::Calc (the link is to a gzipped archive which has a lot of useful calendar modules in it), and Date::Manip. I've used Date::Calc a number of times and find it a pleasure to work with. I've heard equally good things about Date::Manip.

If your date manipulation needs get any more complicated, or you just want to learn the ins and outs of a few useful modules, I'd highly suggest checking out the pods.

good luck with your project,

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.
