I'm not sure exactly what you are asking for, but it sounds like you want code that do something based on the last 31 days each day. Even if I am on the wrong track, checking out these functions should help you:

  1. time
  2. localtime
  3. Time::Local's timelocal

Now for some (untested) code.

#Loop 31 times
foreach (1..31)
{   # Set date to $_ days in the past.
    my $date = time() - $_*24*60*60 
    my ($day,$month,$year) = localtime($date)[3,4,5];
    # cleanup raw localtime output  
    $month++; $year = substr ($year, -2);
    
    # Print niceish (whitespace instead of 0) MM/DD/YY dates to string
    $date = sprintf "%2d/%2d/%2d", $month,$day,$year; #I'm reusing $da
+te, I don't need its old value.
    # Fix whitespace. $date will now hold MM/DD/YY data.
    $date=~s/\s/0/g;
    
    print "MM/DD/YY:\t$date\n";    
}

Here's a truncated bit of output:

MM/DD/YY:       06/17/01
MM/DD/YY:       06/16/01
MM/DD/YY:       06/15/01
MM/DD/YY:       06/14/01

I hope this helps.
