[Sir T S S]

I had a stupid question here, i check in my scripts if today is friday then i add 3 more day to get next monday, i multiply 3 times of 86400 but it give me 19700101 . How to do it using perl to add 3 more days.

i attach my scripts for checking simple only but i not familiar with perl.

Hi,

Can't open your attachment, but you could use someting like this.

# perl -le 'print scalar localtime time + 259200'

Hi,
fully agree with Robert-Jan. Change to 86400 to 259200. (24 * 60 *60 * 3)

Or from your earlier post:

Use A. Clay Stephenson script.
