Hi, I'm sure this has been asked several time and in several ways. I have searched though the site (and google and and and), but not found the solution. I'm looking for a way to make a calendar, without any modules other then the standard Perl modules.

Is it possible to make a simple, yet effective, calendar (will be displayed on an HTML page), using only the default Perl modules? One that is platform independent (needs to run on both Windows and Linux).

I was thinking that perhaps using timelocal to get the date, as this provides the day of week as well as the month, day and year. Then, using timelocal, calculate out the first and last day of the month. From this, the start (weekday) is available, then simply 'draw' an html table, filling in the information, and ending on the last day of the month correctly.

This sounds possible, I'm wondering if it is possible, and if, perhaps, someone has done this already.
