here's an easy one

[Cy Kurtz]

I hope it's an easy one for you. It's not quite easy enough for me.

I want to harvest some files from a website. The files are in this
format:

fooYYMMDD.ext, as in foo030901.ext for September 1st, 2003.

To wget the first nine months of this daily file, I need a file that
looks like this:

http://basic.url/dir/foo030101.ext
http://basic.url/dir/foo030102.ext
http://basic.url/dir/foo030103.ext
.
.
http://basic.url/dir/foo030901.ext

I'm too lazy to type all of this, so I'm trying to use this little
script to generate the file for me. It keeps tripping over the last
close bracket. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks,

Cy Kurtz

Here's my script:

 #!/usr/bin/env perl
 #
 open OUTFILE, ">output.txt" or die "Can't open output.txt: $!";
        while($month < 9)
        {
                        while($day < 31)
                        {
                        print OUTFILE 
"http://basic.url/dir/file03,$month,$day,.ext,\n";;
                        continue 
                        $day++;
                        }
        continue
        $month++;
        }
