Code:
4/30/2013 is 41 days away

I thought 4/30/2013 would be 12 days away. Maybe I'm missing something...

Thank you for taking on the script. I felt kind of bad starting to help, and not finishing.

hi thank you friend,
but if you see the output 4/30/2013 is just 11 days away from todays date, but the above script is showing something like 41 days away...

i request you please modify the script please...

[edit] that was optimistic, bug remains, one moment... But it was using a weird calendar since it got dates it considered 1900 years in the future...

Assuming that your dates are valid:
Code:
perl -MTime::Local=timelocal_nocheck -F/ -lape '$_ .= " --> " . (
timelocal_nocheck(0,0,0,$F[1],$F[0]-1,$F[2]-1900) - timelocal_nocheck(0,0,0,(localtime)[3,4,5])
)/(60*60*24)' file

producing (for 4/19/2013)
Code:
4/30/2013 --> 11
3/31/2013 --> -19
4/30/2013 --> 11
4/16/2013 --> -3
4/30/2013 --> 11
4/30/2013 --> 11
5/30/2013 --> 41
5/30/2013 --> 41
4/30/2013 --> 11
5/30/2013 --> 41
5/30/2013 --> 41
3/31/2013 --> -19
