Hello.. I am a new member of the Monks. My name is Seema. I am a student at Purdue University. I would love to chit-chat..but if I start...I won't stop. :o)

Before I start asking my question...let me say this. I am very new to the Perl language. I have some books, as references, though it hasn't helped me out. Maybe a monk can help me out!?!

I have looked at a few of the questions and examples, in some of the responses that other people had problems with. Though I didnt' find one that was related to my problem.

I am working on a project which deals with Unix, Perl, and HTML scripts. I have already created a website which will monitor on a day-to-day bases (on the Unix machine).

Though, I have ran into a slight problem. In order for this website to work, I need to write a script in Perl so I can put it on the Unix machine. I need find a script that will loop 31 days, daily. Though I dont' know how to come about this. Here is a rough idea of what I am talking about:

For example:
April 30 - May 30. The loop needs to repeat daily. So, when its May 31, the dates should change to May 1. April 30 should be dropped off the loop.

How would I come about make this particular loop? Hopefully a few Monks can suggest a few examples or references which can help me out on this script. Thanx!
