I am new to perl and need to compare some dates in a file stored in
dd-mm-yyyy format to find out if the dates are greater than 30, 60 or 90
days.
However, I am not quite sure how to go about doing that in perl and I was
wondering if anyone out there had any tips on how to do this.
I extract the data required using the following to get a date and username
if (-e $FILE) { unlink $FILE ;}
open (CHK, ">> $FILE") || die "Cannot open $FILE";
system (`awk '/Login/ {print \$1,\$7}' $FILE1 | sort -u >>
$FILE1`);
Then this gives me the current date
$tm = localtime($date);
$day = $tm->mday;
$month = $tm->mon+1;
$year = $tm->year+1900;
if ( $day < 10 ){
$day="0$day";
}
if ( $month < 10 ){
$month="0$month";
}
$querydate = "$year-$month-$day";
return $querydate
However I am not too sure how to go about comparing the date extracted from
the data file with the current date to find out if it is greater 30, 60 or
90 days.
Any help would be appreciated.
