in reply to Manipulating Date Numbers

Well, the simple approach is to just split: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

while( <DATA> ) {
        chomp;
        ($y,$m,$d) = split( /\//, $_ );
        print "$m/$d/$y\n";
}


__DATA__
74/05/25
54/03/04
69/08/23
55/08/24

    I didn't even THINK about split. I hate me, but you rock.

    Thanks!

    There's more than one way to do it, but only some of them actually work.
