[Chicago-talk] Date operator question.

[Jim Thomason]

sure, use Date::Calc...Days_in_Month($month)

Realistically, though, it's a fairly small set of data points. You
could just keep an array for yourself.

@days_in_month = qw(0 31 28 31 30 31 30 31 31 30 31 30 31);

my $last_day = $days_in_month[$month];

You'd need to handle leapyear yourself, though.

If you actually wanted to know the weekday upon which the last date of
the month fell, then Date::Calc has functions for that, too.
