geez...

So all that was required was to subtract 1 from $month1 and $month2 and all is ok?! I read the module and didn't get it. I read the section in the cookbook and still didn't get it. I was even told the month range was 0..11 and I still didn't get a clue.

I don't want to tell you how many hours I spent on this.

Thank you very much.

For pennance this newbie is going to whack himself over the head with all the surrounding Perl books

BTW, this will be called from another program that pings servers and gateways every five minutes. Should a machine not respond it will check with this script to make sure that the downtime isn't scheduled before sending pages/emails etc.
