Re^3: convert month number to month name

Hmmm ... why not map *all* of 'em to Aug?

my $months = 'AugAugAugAugAugAugAugAugAugAugAugAug';
my $month = 8;
printf '%s', substr($months, $month*3, 3);

Then we could simplify it a bit:

my $month = 8;
printf '%s', substr('Aug'x12, $month*3, 3);

It's true that the specification for mapping of indices other than 8 is undefined, so your further refinements are useful. ++ to you, sir, and well played!	[reply]
