Another solution without using any module:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
while (1) {
print "Enter year (yyyy) and month (mm), separated by a space:";
chomp(my $input = <STDIN>);
last if !$input;
my ($year, $month) = split / /, $input;
my $m= $month % 12 + 1;
my $y= $year+int($month/12);
if ( $m<3) {
$m+=12;
--$y;
}
++$m;
my $dayname = (qw(Sat Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri))[(int($m * 30.6) +
+int($y * 365.25)-int($y / 100)+int($y / 400)) % 7];
print "The last day of $month/$year will be a $dayname\n";
}
The formular used here works like this:
- if the month is January or february (1 or 2) shift it to the end of the preceeding year (month 13 and 14)
- add 1 to the month
- sum up the integer result of:
- month * 30.6
30.6 gives it the correct toggle between 30 and 31. February is the last month, so no problem with 28/29
- year * 365.25
this takes into account the leap years
- year / -100
this subtracts the non-leap years
- year / 400
this re-adds the non-non-leap years
- the day should then be added
the reminder of 7 is the weekday starting with Sat==0
