in reply to POSIX strftime format question

Yeah, strftime won't handle that.

It's simple enough to fix it using Lingua::EN::Number::Ordinate tho'.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use POSIX 'strftime';
use Lingua::EN::Numbers::Ordinate;

my $date = strftime '%B %d, %Y', localtime;
$date =~ s/(\d+)/ordinate($1)/e;

print "$date\n"

    hrm ... install a new module ( which may come in handy ) or roll 'myself' (meaning steal someone else's rolling)?

    either way, it's not something POSIX does ... which i just needed confirmation on.

    thanks.

    FYI -- typo in one place ...

    it's "Lingua::EN::Numbers::Ordinate", which you have right in the code snip but wrong in the 'use' part of the note ..
