Don't post separate messages to separate newsgroups.
You're supposed to post a single message to multiple groups
simultaneously. It's called cross-posting. Someone has
already answered in the alt.perl newsgroup.
Post to comp.lang.perl. misc instead of here (comp.lang.perl ).

In spite your name you may want to put on your fireproof suit.
What happened when you asked Google (this question is asked often), asked
the FAQ (this question is asked often; although personally I find the FAQ
answer somewhat lacking), or asked CPAN (there are many modules to deal with
dates: http://search.cpan.org/search?query=date&mode=module)?
If your question would have been which module to use: typically people
recommend Date::Calc or Date::Manip the most.

that's easy:
use Date::Calc qw(Add_Delta_Da ys);
# get current date
@l_date = sub {($_[5]+1900, $_[4]+1, $_[3])}->(localtime);
# or set some other date
@l_date = (2004, 5, 8);
# add a week to @l_date
@l_date_week_af ter = Add_Delta_Days( @l_date, +7);
# subtract a week from @l_date
@l_date_week_be fore = Add_Delta_Days( @l_date, -7);
# print the stuff
printf ("l_date=%04 d-%02d-%02d l_date_week_aft er=%04d-%02d-%02d
l_date_week_bef ore=%04d-%02d-%02d\n", @l_date, @l_date_week_af ter,
@l_date_week_be fore);
but if you wannna know a date after a month you have to write a function
which handles year/month rollovers and uses Add_Delta_Days accordingly

Welcome to comp.lang.perl
This newsgroup, despite it's level of activity, has been declared defunct in
Google
and in http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.4/pod...ost-questions-
You might want to familiarise yourself with the posting guidelines for
comp.lang.perl. misc at http://mail.augustmail.com/~tadmc/cl...uidelines.text
before posting there.
I note from your headers that you are a Windows user or at least you used MS
Outlook to post here. If you were using a Linux install of Perl then I would
say use:
man perl
man perlfaq
perldoc perldoc
perldoc perl
but I don't have a clue what documentation you'd get with Perl on Windows. (I
have heard that ActiveState Perl has a help button somewhere on the Start
button menu but can't verify this at all.)
You might want to browse http://www.perl.org, http://www.perldoc.com/, http://www.perl.com
and http://www.cpan.org for modules (the nearest Perl has to Java classes)
Also put Perl into a google search then trawl through the webpages you find
there and the group archives for answers to any questions you might have that
might have been answered already.
If you want to download modules from CPAN then check your perl documentation
to see if 'perl -MCPAN -e shell' will work or look for something similar. It
will do the installation work for you.

Hi all;
I code Perl for CGI, I using regular expression to check the validation
of user input, because the form is small and it run only from my own
computer, anyways if many people using my form, do you think it will be
slow due to Perl is run under server. How about using JavaSCript to
check validation for user input? Do you think it a bit faster?

Given that UNIX, including networking, is almost entirely coded in C,
how come so many things are almost impossible in ordinary C? Examples:
Network and internet access, access to UNIX interprocess controls and

Almost all of these are easy in Perl. Why isn't there a mechanism like

I need to write some javascript that will return a date string in the
form mm/dd/yyyy.
The date needs to be today's date - 30 days.
Is there a relatively straight forward way to do this?
So far all I can find is a mess of variables for month, day, and year,
and combining some date functions together, etc etc. Seems like a lot
of work for what should be very simple.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
