in thread Finding the dates for the reminder mail system

hi ikegami,

the code for finding the last wednesday or friday does not work for the following scenario

due_date = Dec 15 2008 (Monday)
Today_date = Dec 12 2008 (Friday)

$delta = 3
$days_to_wed = 2, $days_to_fri = 4

$days_to_next = 2

$delta > 0 but $delta is not <= $days_to_next.

Not using `use strict;` and `use warnings;` is bad enough. Asking why code doesn't work without turning them on and fixing the errors is even worse. It would have immediately pointed out why `$days_to_wed` and `$days_to_fri` contain the wrong values.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
