There is Time::Piece and Time::Seconds in core since perl 5.10, so
I encourage using them:
use 5.010;
use strict;
use Time::Piece;
use Time::Seconds;
my $now = localtime;
my $current_month_num = $now->mon;
my $current_month = $now->month;
# substract 3 extra days to avoid thinking about month boundaries
my $previous_month_num = ($now - ($now->mday + 3) * ONE_DAY)->mon;
my $previous_month = ($now - ($now->mday + 3) * ONE_DAY)->month;
say "Current: $current_month_num $current_month";
say "Previous: $previous_month_num $previous_month";
Cheers,
Gerhard
