I figured out how to do it. It might not be eligent, but it works.

===============================
#!/bin/ksh

# Because a cron job can not be told to run on the last day of a month,
# it will be run on the 28-31 of every month at 11:30pm. The following
# code will determine if we are on the last day of the month. Because a
# cron job doesn't have any environmental variables available from the
# submitting session, all paths need to be hard coded. If this job needs
# to be run for a gers production except live, please make the
# approporate modifications to the patch names. The test will be for any
# file that was created before the current month.

days_in_month=$(echo $(cal) | awk '{print $NF}')
day_of_month=$(date +%d)

last_month=$(expr `date +%m` - 1)
last_year=$(date +%y)
if [[ $last_month -eq 0 ]]
then
last_month=12
last_year=$(expr $last_year - 1)
fi
if [[ $last_month -lt 10 ]]
then
last_month="0"$last_month
fi

file_name=$last_month$last_year

if [[ $days_in_month -eq $day_of_month ]]
then
touch -m -t `date +%Y%m`010001.01 /gers/live/adhoc/ekvidatetestfile
cd /gers/live/datafiles
find . $ ! -name . -prune $ -name "EKVI*\.DAT" -type f ! -newer /gers/live/adhoc/ekvidatetestfile -exec compress {} \;
cd /gers/live/adhoc
find . $ ! -name . -prune $ -name "EKVI*" -type f ! -newer /gers/live/adhoc/ekvidatetestfile -exec cat {} > /gers/live/datafiles/EKVI$file_name.DAT \;
find . $ ! -name . -prune $ -name "EKVI*" -type f ! -newer /gers/live/adhoc/ekvidatetestfile -exec rm {} \;
rm /gers/live/adhoc/ekvidatetestfile
else
echo not the last day of the month
exit
fi

HTML::FormHandler::Field::Date(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		       HTML::FormHandler::Field::Date(3pm)

NAME

       HTML::FormHandler::Field::Date - a date field with formats

VERSION

       version 0.40013

SUMMARY

       This field may be used with the jQuery Datepicker plugin.

       You can specify the format for the date using jQuery formatDate strings or DateTime strftime formats. (Default format is format =>
       '%Y-%m-%d'.)

	  d  - "%e" - day of month (no leading zero)
	  dd - "%d" - day of month (two digit)
	  o  - "%{day_of_year}" - day of the year (no leading zeros)
	  oo - "%j" - day of the year (three digit)
	  D  - "%a" - day name short
	  DD - "%A" - day name long
	  m  - "%{day_of_month" - month of year (no leading zero)
	  mm - "%m" - month of year (two digit) "%m"
	  M  - "%b" - month name short
	  MM - "%B" - month name long
	  y  - "%y" - year (two digit)
	  yy - "%Y" - year (four digit)
	  @  - "%s" - Unix timestamp (ms since 01/01/1970)

       For example:

	  has_field 'start_date' => ( type => 'Date', format => "dd/mm/y" );

       or

	  has_field 'start_date' => ( type => 'Date', format => "%d/%m/%y" );

       You can also set 'date_end' and 'date_start' attributes for validation of the date range. Use iso_8601 formats for these dates ("yyyy-mm-
       dd");

	  has_field 'start_date' => ( type => 'Date', date_start => "2009-12-25" );

       Customize error messages 'date_early' and 'date_late':

	  has_field 'start_date' => ( type => 'Date,
	      messages => { date_early => 'Pick a later date',
			    date_late  => 'Pick an earlier date', } );

       If form has 'is_html5' flag active it will render <input type="date" ... /> instead of type="text"
