Hi there Monks!
I am trying to get every past 3 months from the current month, running out of ideas and stuck here:
#!/usr/bin/perl
     
use strict;
use warnings;
     
my ($second, $minute, $hour, $dayOfMonth, $month, $yearOffset, $dayOfW
+eek, $dayOfYear, $daylightSavings) = localtime();
     

my $month_number = $month + 1;
    
my %months_name = (
    1 => 'January',
    2 => 'February',
    3 => 'March',
    4 => 'April',
    5 => 'May',
    6 => 'June',
    7 => 'July',
    8 => 'August',
    9 => 'September',
    10 => 'October',
    11 => 'November',
    12 => 'December',
  );

print "Current month is: $months_name{$month_number}\n";

my @months = qw(January February March April May June July August Sept
+ember October November December);

my @three_months = splice @months, -12, $month_number;

print "\n @three_months\n";

Might be a better way of doing this, "splice" will remove the 3 month from the array and I would have to add it back for the next month. Then when is January I have to get the last two month from the start of the array to get "November - December - January".
Can't think!
Thanks for any good idea or help!
