Greetings fellow Monks
I am using Date::Manip. What I want to do is generate 90 days from the current date and enter it into a MySql table, which also has the datatype as DATE.
The date when i insert into the field, comes as the year 2020, instead of 2004. the month and day field are okay.
The code for inserting is as shown below. Please help me out.
#!/usr/bin/perl
# get current Date from MySql
use warnings;
use strict;
use DBI;
use Date::Manip;

my ($dbh, $rows);



$dbh=DBI->connect('dbi:mysql:VISA','root','elephant') || 

   die "Error opening database: $DBI::errstr\n";

my $date;
#$date = DateCalc("today","+ 90 days");
$date=ParseDate("in 90 days");
print "Date: $date\n";

$rows=$dbh->do("INSERT INTO appCancel (appt_date,status, no_cancel, ci
+ty)
                        VALUES('$date'  , 'U'  , '0'      , 'M')") ||

                      die "Couldn't insert record : $DBI::errstr";
$dbh->finish();

the date which comes into the record has 2020 as the year.
