I spoke too soon. I'm actually a little stumped on the % modulo operator and the example. I see a lot more than 12 months being printed out. The goal is to start with current month +1 (so October if using today in the example) and then print the 12 months in order from there.. 


#!/usr/bin/perl
use POSIX 'strftime';

use strict;

my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime;
my $curr_mth = sprintf "%2d", strftime('%m', $sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mo
+n,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst);

my @month_name = qw(January February March April May June July August 
+September October November December);

        for my $m ( 0 .. $#month_name) {
                print "Month name is: $month_name[$m]\n";
        }

I'm trying to get out as follows:

Month name is: October
Month name is: November
Month name is: December
Month name is: January
Month name is: February
Month name is: March
Month name is: April
Month name is: May
Month name is: June
Month name is: July
Month name is: August
Month name is: September

then next month the output would be:

Month name is: November
Month name is: December
Month name is: January
Month name is: February
Month name is: March
Month name is: April
Month name is: May
Month name is: June
Month name is: July
Month name is: August
Month name is: September
Month name is: October
