Hello, I`m trying to write a script that will execute a command at a specific date. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
#
#
use Time::Local;
use Term::ANSIColor;
use POSIX qw(strftime);
open(IN,"test");
my $actdate = strftime "%H:%d:%m:%M", localtime;
my $acthour = strftime "%H",localtime;
my $actmonth = strftime "%d",localtime;
my $actday = strftime "%m",localtime;
my $actmin = strftime "%M",localtime;
while( $line = <IN> ){
        if ( $line =~ /^#./ ){ }
        elsif ( $line =~ /^[1-9]/ )
        { 
            ($IP,$MAC,$MINI,$MAXI,$VIRUS,$FULL,$BUN,$NAME,$DATA) = spl
+it(/\ /,$line);
            ($HH,$ZZ,$MM,$Min) = split(/:/, $DATA);
                chomp($DATA);
                my $comm = "/sbin/iptables-save | /bin/grep $IP | /bin
+/grep DNAT >/dev/null 2>&1";
                my $comI = "/sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth
+1 -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.0.251:80 -
+s ";
                my $comD = "/sbin/iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -i eth
+1 -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.0.251:80 -
+s ";
                if      ( $actdate eq $DATE) {
                        $check = system($comm);
                        chomp($check);
                        if ( $check == 0 ) {
                                system("$comD $IP");
                                system("$comI $IP");
                                } 
                        else   {
                                system("$comI $IP");
                                }
                        }
                else    {
                                $check = system($comm);
                                chomp($check);
                                if ( $check == 0 ) {
                                        system("$comD $IP");
                                        }
                                else    { print "$NAME ok\n";
                        }
                }
        }
}

The test file contains some data and the last field $DATA contains a date ( 01:12:12:40) which is hour,day,month,minute. The problem is that I dont know what to do if $actdate != $DATE . Normally if its a smaller date then it should go with the last part of the code: 
else    {
                                $check = system($comm);
                                chomp($check);
                                if ( $check == 0 ) {
                                        system("$comD $IP");
                                        }
                                else    { print "$NAME ok\n";
                        }

But what if its a higher date? Maybe with the $actday,$actmonth,$acthour $ZZ,$MM,$HH variables? Any hints? Thx
