Re: Changing dates

~~Did you run this through use strict; use warnings;?~~ Check the precedence of your operators. This code:

if ($foo == "A"||"B"||"C")

is actually the same as

if (($foo == "A") || ("B") || ("C"))

which should reduce to if (1). Also, you have a $start_day == 01 in every section. == is a comparison, = is an assignment.

Did you run this through `use strict; use warnings;`? How would either help in this case? I don't get any errors or warnings about this construct with Perl 5.8.8 or 5.10.0.	[reply] [d/l]

D'oh. Must be the ass-u-me thing. Thought that the `$var == 01` at the end of the if blocks would trigger a "useless" something or another. My mistake. --MidLifeXis	[reply] [d/l]
