I think Corona688 and I have had a discussion about perl modules -- I tend to prefer to use them to make code shorter, and I think Corona688 likes his code to be as independent as possible.
I usually recommend this perl date code when the user (typically on older Solaris or AIX) cannot use GNU date or the
dateuitls suite, so I definitely agree with Corona688's position in such situations.
Thanks again to Corona688 for taking the time to provide this.
Best wishes ... cheers, drl
