First I would use unix internal time format(epochen). And I would use Date-Calc (search.cpan.org/dist/Date-Calc/), Date-Calendar. This should solve nearly all of your problems.
Parsing CLI, should be done with getopt... BTW: Ever heard about cron? -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Mathew Snyder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Montag, 10. September 2007 13:18 An: Perl Beginners Betreff: User input: dates spanning multiple months I have a script which has to be manually edited to run for a span of days. When these days are over several weeks it can be clearly tedious to enter dates in yyyy-mm-dd format. I've decided to set it up to ask for user input. What I need is some input on is how to make it create the array for all the dates requested. For instance, if someone wants to run the script spanning 07/20/2007 to 08/20/2007 how can I split that up to ensure it runs across all days and both months? I'm thinking I would have to split each argument into an array and then create an array for the months and days running a foreach loop over them both. But then, how would I accommodate the varying number of days in each month? Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.
