Re: Convert string into incremental date

My question is two part:
1. I am reading a date from a file in the form mm/dd/yy (i.e.
05/30/06). I need to convert that string into a date.

Let a module do that for you.

2. I need to be able to increment that date:

Let a module do that for you as well.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Date::Manip;

my $date = "05/30/06";

$date = DateCalc($date, "+ 1 day");
$date = DateCalc($date, "+ 1 day");

print UnixDate($date, "%D"); #display like mm/dd/yy
