Re: The day of today

I know if I got rid of "use strict" it could be much shorter, but at work all scripts must have this.

and for a very good reason. As for your code:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl  

use strict;
use warnings;

my @localtime = localtime();

print "Today is day $localtime[3].";

UPDATE: changed @localtime to $localtime, ++haoess

Software speaks in tongues of man.
Stop saying 'script'. Stop saying 'line-noise'.
We have nothing to lose but our metaphores.

`print "Today is day @localtime[3].";` Doesn't your perl warn like `Scalar value @localtime[3] better written as $localtime[3]` ? You should do it ;-) -- Frank	[reply] [d/l] [select]

See? That's why you need to use strict and warnings :P Software speaks in tongues of man. Stop saying 'script'. Stop saying 'line-noise'. We have nothing to lose but our metaphores.	[reply]

If you are happy to dispense with the array you can do this. `use strict; use warnings; print "today is day @{ [ ( localtime )[3] ] }.";` [download] Cheers, JohnGG	[reply] [d/l]
