in reply to Plaintext monthly journal generator

Two words (three?): use Time::Piece!
use strict; use warnings; use Time::Piece; my $t = localtime; my @d = $t->day_list; printf "%s, %s %d, %d\n\n\n", $d[($_ + 1) % 7], $t->fullmonth, $_, $t->year for 1..$t->month_last_day ;
Whoopsie Daisy! This only works for this month and this year ... see the modulus up there? That was suppose to be ($_ - 1) % 7 and i accidentally added one instead. That, of course, doesn't work, but my blunder managed to give "correct looking" results. Here is a better version whose output is identical to yours (the days of the names are not abbreviated):
use Time::Piece; my $t = localtime; my $last = $t->month_last_day; $t -= Time::Piece::ONE_DAY * ($t->mday - 1); for (1..$last) { printf "%s, %s %d, %d\n\n\n", $t->fullday, $t->fullmonth, $t->mday, $t->year ; $t += Time::Piece::ONE_DAY; }
[This still] doesn't save to a file, but redirection works just as well, IMHO. Hope this helps. :)
