Encountered another problem:
I'm trying to use a calculated date value in a regex. It only works with
values which are NOT calculated.
my ($dc, $mc, $yc) = (localtime(time))[3,4,5];
my $date_now = sprintf("%02d-%02d-%02d", $dc, $mc+1,
$yc-100);
my ($da, $ma, $ya) = (localtime (time + (ONE_DAY)))[3,4,5];
my $next_date = sprintf("%02d-%02d-%02d", $da, $ma+1,
$ya-100);
using $date_now in this regex works:
while (<APODATA>) {
( $date_today, $aponame, $apoaddress, $apotel) =
split(/:/,$_);
my @data = split(/:/);
foreach ($data[0]) {
if (/$date_now/) {
print "$date_now\n";
print "$next_date\n";
}
}
if I replace $date_now with $next_date I get an error message (premature
end of script headers).
Does anybody know how?
Thanks for your tips in advance.
