Re: The day of today

[Erez]

I know if I got rid of "use strict" it could be much shorter, but at work all scripts must have this.

and for a very good reason. As for your code:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl  

use strict;
use warnings;

my @localtime = localtime();

print "Today is day $localtime[3].";

UPDATE: changed @localtime to $localtime, ++haoess

[haoess]

print "Today is day @localtime[3].";

Doesn't your perl warn like

Scalar value @localtime[3] better written as $localtime[3]

? You should do it ;-)

See? That's why you need to use strict and warnings :P

If you are happy to dispense with the array you can do this.

use strict;
use warnings;

print "today is day @{ [ ( localtime )[3] ] }.";

Cheers,
