Can we please stop using the illegal syntax there?
$data[0][17] or $data[0]->[17] or ${$data[0]}[17], but not @data[0]->...

Either of these will work -- I'll leave it up to the experts to let us know
which one (if any) is faster or more efficient:
$last_open = sprintf '%04d-%02d-%02d', $data[0]->[17] =~
/^(\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2})$/;
$last_open = sprintf '%04d-%02d-%02d', unpack 'A4A2A2', $data[0]->[17];
Please note tha
Thanks for the help, I think this will work out.
oh. Unusual site you have there.

make your %4d-%2d-%2d look like %4d-%02d-%02dThe zero with the number says
to have zero fill instead of blank fill.
Wags ;)
