Hi all,
I was doing a date formatting function and did this:
my %number_to_long_month = ( '1' => 'January', '2' => 'February', '3' => 'March', '4' => 'April', '5' => 'May', '6' => 'June', '7' => 'July', '8' => 'August', '9' => 'September', '10' => 'October', '11' => 'November', '12' => 'December' );
However I took a peek at CPAN to see if there was something that could aide me, and found this:
@MoY = qw(January February March April May June July August September October November December);
What would be more efficient?
Regards,
Javier Moreno
Arrays are generally faster, and in this case, it actually makes more sense to use an array.
Note: There are /a lot/ of date manipulation modules on CPAN; notably the DateTime modules which are slated to be part of the perl core in the near future.
