I'm trying to parse a date from a file and I would like to know how to
match a range of numbers with a regex? For example, the days of the
month 1..31. I understand that there are numerous modules that can do
the work for me, this is as much for my own learning as anything.

Thanks.

-----------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $date = "Wed Jun  7 14:27:38 2006';

print $3 if $date =~ m{(Wed)\s(Jun)\s{1,2}([1..31])};

__END__
