I have a perl question for y'all, this program:
#!/usr/bin/perl my %days_in_month = ( "Jan" => 31, "Feb" => 29, "Mar" => 31, "Apr" => 30, "May" => 31, "Jun" => 30, "Jul" => 31, "Aug" => 31, "Sep" => 30, "Oct" => 31, "Nov" => 30, "Dec" => 31 ); foreach $day (%days_in_month) { print "$days_in_month{$day} days hath $day\n"; }
gives this output:
[ceidem@SHARPAM ~/src/perl]$ cal.pl 31 days hath Oct days hath 31 31 days hath Dec days hath 31 31 days hath Mar days hath 31 29 days hath Feb days hath 29 31 days hath Jan days hath 31 30 days hath Nov days hath 30 31 days hath May days hath 31 31 days hath Aug days hath 31 30 days hath Sep days hath 30 31 days hath Jul days hath 31 30 days hath Apr days hath 30 30 days hath Jun days hath 30 [ceidem@SHARPAM ~/src/perl]$

Where does the extraneous "days hath n" come from?

TIA,

- chris
