Yeah, SuperCruncher and others are right, I should have investigated further. Sorry for seeming lazy (maybe I was :-)), but here's my code:
(my $sec,my $min,my $hour,my $mday,my $mon,my $year,my $wday,my $yday,
+my $isdst)=localtime(time);

my $month1 = $mon+1;

my $year1 = $year+1900;

if ($mday == 1 && $month1 == 2) {
$mday = 28;
}
elsif ($mday == 1 && $month1 == 4) {
$mday = 30;
}
elsif ($mday == 1 && $month1 == 6) {
$mday = 30;
}
elsif ($mday == 1 && $month1 == 9) {
$mday = 30;
}
elsif ($mday == 1 && $month1 == 11) {
$mday = 30;
}
else {
$mday--;
}

my $date1 = "$month1\/$mday\/$year1";
