`$d--` is short for `$d = $d -1`, that is "subtract one from $d". Date::Simple provides a date object, and you can add and subtract number from that, so `today() - 1` is yesterday. Then it decreases the value by one while the day of week is 0 (Sunday) or 6 (Saturday).	[reply] [d/l] [select]

OK, it could be written like: `if( ($d->day_of_week == 0) \|\|( $d->day_of_week == 6)){ $d = $d -1; print $d; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I guess I would have to add `$d = $d -1; if( ($d->day_of_week == 0) \|\|( $d->day_of_week == 6)){ $d = $d -1; print $d; }` [download] before!	[reply] [d/l]
