Thank-You all regarding this matter. It works great. I should have been able to figure this one out on my own, guess I need to brush or relearn how to use the Time function.

But if the year is also divisible by 100 then it is not a leap year, unless it is divisible by 400." A neater way to test if it's (or anything is) divisible by 4 is to use the modulus operator: if ( $year % 4 == 0 ) { # it is divisible by 4 } else { # it isn't } Jason If memory serves me right, on Tuesday 29 January 2002 11:52, McCollum, Frank wrote: > I've never done this, but it seems to me it would be nice to set up the > days per month in a little hash table. > > %calendarDays ( > january => 31, > february => 28, > .... > ) > #or should the order be reversed?
