Off topic, but what would you (merlyn, whomever) do if you didn't have to use core modules? Just curious what y'all prefer for date parsing and formatting. I'd do this...
#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw
use strict;
use Date::Format;
use Date::Parse;
my $time = str2time('2002-02-21');
my $day_of_wk = time2str("%w", $time);
print "day of week is $day_of_wk\n";
$day_of_wk = time2str("%A", $time);
print "day of week is $day_of_wk\n";

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
