Ok Monks, I think I'm almost there, but I'm still having problems with the comparing dates...I've decided to go with the Date::Calc module specifically the Delta_Days function. I think I have all the code down but it's not comparing the Delta_Days is not working with my if statement. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? My guess is my loops are all *@!$ed up but I don't know where to start.

Here's my code:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl5 -wT

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

use Date::Calc qw(Delta_Days);

@Months = ('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','10','11','12'); 
($Month_Day,$Month,$Year) = (localtime)[3,4,5]; 
$Year += 1900;

open(HANDLE,"../script_integration_data/script_integration_records");
while (<HANDLE>) {
   @temp1 = split(/:/);
   $domain = unpack ("A4", $temp1[40]);
   $day_diff = Delta_Days($temp1[28], $temp1[30], $temp1[29], $Year, $
+Month, $Month_Day);
   if (($domain eq "BBA") && ($temp1[36] eq "In Production") && ($day_
+diff <= 90)) { 
      $sum += $temp1[38];
      $count++;
   }
}


close(HANDLE);
$average = $sum / $count;

if ($average >= 44) {
   print sprintf "<blink><font color=\"#FF0000\">%.f days</font></blin
+k>", $average;
   } elsif (($average >= 11) && ($average <= 44)) {
      print sprintf "<font color=\"#FFFF00\">%.f days</font>", $averag
+e;
      } elsif ($average <= 10) {
   print sprintf "<font color=\"#669900\">%.f days</font>", $average;
}
