I do want to reinvent wheels until I understand the wheel well enough to trust someone else's. | [reply] |
why dont use already existing date modules Eg:- Date::Calc
For instance the code can be simplified to
use strict;
use warnings;
use Date::Calc qw(Today Add_Delta_Days);
my $today = sprintf("%02d%02d%02d",Today());
my $year = 1986;
my $month = 1;
my $day = 1;
my $offset =0 ;
my $print_date = 0;
while ($today > $print_date){
my ($new_year,$new_month,$new_day)= Add_Delta_Days($year,$month,$day, $offset);
$print_date = sprintf("%02d%02d%02d",$new_year,$new_month,$new_day);
print "$print_date\n";
$offset++;
}
Depending on your req you can alter where ever needed
