You can do it with the standard module Time::Local. You already have this; it doesn't need to be installed. use Time::Local; my @days = qw( Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday ); my ($d, $m, $y) = (1, 2, 2004); # Feb. 1, 2004 my $when = timelocal(0,0,12, $d,$m-1,$y-1900); # noon on Feb. 1, 2004 my $dow = (localtime $when)[6]; # day of week (0-6) my $day_name = $days[$dow]; # name of day of week -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course.
