Someone offline suggested this to me. Ok, fair enough you don't reinvent the wheel unless you have too or for educational purposes but leaving that aside for the moment is messing with dates one of those things like parsing HTML that you're just better off not trying to do from scratch ?
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Time::Local qw( timelocal ); my $year = 2001; my $day = 200; my $year_sec = timelocal(0, 0, 0, 1, 0, $year-1900); my $new_sec = $year_sec + ($day-1) * 60 * 60 *24; print localtime($new_sec)."\n"; my ($theday, $month) = (localtime($new_sec))[3,4]; $month++; print "day = $theday, month = $month\n";

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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.
