TheAnswer1313:

Here are a couple of hints:

• You need only change the line that creates the $start time.
• Ideally, you'd want to start one day before today, right? So take a look at what the for loop is doing.
• perldoc -f time
• perldoc -f timelocal

I offered hints rather than the answer because I believe that you'll want to learn perl quickly so you can edit these scripts you've apparently inherited. And there's no better way than diving in and investigating the code. Of course, a couple of hints here and there about what to look at first can be a real timesaver.... ;^) If you *really* just want the answer, let me know....
