jonnyfolk,
The best way that I have found to do this was using a hash.
my %month3letter = (
12 => 'Jan',
1 => 'Feb',
2 => 'Mar',
3 => 'Apr',
4 => 'May',
5 => 'Jun',
6 => 'Jul',
7 => 'Aug',
8 => 'Sep',
9 => 'Oct',
10 => 'Nov',
11 => 'Dec'
);
Or-well mabye I just like hashes, anyway I have had a great deal of success with it.
Thanks,
Greg

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
