Thanks for the input (and code). I've only started studying Perl a week ago, and all this information is helpful, even though I may not fully understand it until later. I will most likely revisit this program several times, making changes along the way as my skills progress. But for an absolute beginner in Perl (or any programming for that matter), I'm surprised that I wrote something that actually works without having to rip out my hair. LOL

Update: I ran the code and noticed one typo. $days[$day] should read $days[$wday]. The time at the end didn't print out correctly, but this is well beyond my minisucle bit of Perl knowledge to decypher. I'm going to tuck this code away and look at it when I know more and can understand better. Like I said, this script was written mostly as a learning tool for me. :)
