I am attempting to use the Date:Calc function and I am not sure if I am using it correctly. Below is the error I
get when I try to use it and below that is the code that i entered. DO I have to define the variables $days somewhere or does Date:Calc take care of that for me? Thanks for any help, I am on a step learning curve! 
charles/2004_ruc2> ./date_calc_test.pl
syntax error at ./date_calc_test.pl line 5, near "$days " Execution of
+ ./date_calc_test.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Date::Calc qw(:all)

$days = Date_to_Days($year,$month,$day);
  ($year,$month,$day) = Add_Delta_Days(1,1,1, $days - 1);

print "$days\n";
