challenge to the perl monks; do the same thing in fewer characters...
I would do it in shell in fewer characters.
for d in 1 2 3 4 5 6; do mkdir `date -v+${d}d +%A`; done
or
mkdir $(for d in 1 2 3 4 5 6; do date -v+${d}d +%A; done)
Only problem is that I don't know what the -v option does.
So the format string doesn't work. But the shell part does.
