ignore that post earlier, i found the answer, after some diving in google
@months = ('Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul',
'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec');
$monthname = $months[(localtime(time))[4]];
works like a charm

Subject: get $month?
this is probably a question that has been asked a lot, but this is a beginner mailing
list =)
my @date = localtime;
$date = sprintf("%02d-%02d-%02d", $date[3], $date[4]+1,($date[5]+1900)%100);
print $date, "\n";
this prints today: 27-03-02
how do i "convert" so it prints 03 as this month instead ie: mar, and for 04 apr and
so on.
i probably need to add an array with fixed months i guess like: @months =
('jan','feb','mar','apr',may','jun','jul','aug','sep','oct','nov','dec');
how do i get this in this code, or anyone have a better idea?
btw thanks for the help with the regex that extracted date Kevin Cornmell, your regexp
worked right away =)
