Re: --compare current date file with previous day

If you want to compare the second line, you need to do:

if ($today[1] eq $yesterday[1])

because Perl arrays start at zero (so $today[0] is the first line of
the file, and $today[1] is the second line).

has this format: Report_0925.rpt

0925 means Sept 25? Using jp's approach (which I greatly prefer):

my %log = map { $_ => UnixDate($_, "Report_%m%d.rpt") }
qw{ today yesterday };
