We defined our arrays by this

+wday0,my $yday0,my $isdst0) = localtime($theLocalTime+86400);

The SQL statement code is this

$sql = "SELECT facility, department, name, soc, anniversary, years "."
+FROM EMPFILE "."WHERE ((anniversary LIKE '".($monArray[0]."/".$mdayAr
+ray[0])."') OR "
        ."(anniversary LIKE '".($monArray[1]."/".$mdayArray[1])."') OR
+ "
        ."(anniversary LIKE '".($monArray[2]."/".$mdayArray[2])."') OR

        ."(anniversary LIKE '".($monArray[6]."/".$mdayArray[6])."')) "
        ."ORDER BY facility, years DESC";
