in reply to Error calling Date:Calc Date_to_Days

Using 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use diagnostics;

[download]
instead of just 
#!/usr/bin/perl

[download]

will help you enormously.

You should get into the the habit of using those 3 lines for every script you write while you are learning. Regardless of how good you get, you should always use the first 2 lines.

Just in case you missed it, I added -w to the first line.

    Good advice, but with modern day Perl 5, it's better to just use warnings instead of -w 
    use strict;
use warnings;
