Hi Monks,

I have a problem with the DateTime::Precise module. I have created the object with the following parameters.

  • Year -> 2006
  • Month -> 01 (Jan)
  • Date -> 31

    • The problem i am facing here is, when i increment the month by 1, it increments the date by 31 days and so it gets the date 2/31. But which is not a valid date. So, perl compensates by converting the days over into the next month. So 2/31 becomes 3/3.

    I have put this piece of code in another script which processes the records from the text file. I am facing this problem only when create the object from the January month having the date > 29.

    Can any one tell me how to get the correct month value when i do inc_month from the January object (having the $date >29 )?

    I can put a if condition to check the january objects.But, I am still trying to solve it through the module's methods.

    Have any of you faced this problem ? Any help would be highly appreciated.

    Thanks for your valuable time.
