Thank you for this. What I'm trying to do is put this in to a variable:
my $date = "Thu, 4 Dec 2008";
Some things about perl, I still don't quite understand, and I've learned
everything from the web and this list, so please forgive me for being a bit
slow. *smile*
Can I say:
my $date = > printf("%s, %d %s %d", $dt->day_abbr, $dt->day,
$dt->month_abbr, $dt->year);
With All Respect,
Upshaw, Lamar T

As you may know, there are very many ways to do this.
One of them is to do:
use DateTime;
my $dt = DateTime->new(year => 2008, month => 12, day => 4);
printf("%s, %d %s %d", $dt->day_abbr, $dt->day, $dt->month_abbr,
$dt->year);
#It will print:
Thu, 4 Dec 2008

Subject: perl - MySQL - getting the day of the week
I'm using MySQL to get the current date with perl. I know how I can take
a date, and convert it to readable calendar info:
2008-12-04 => Dec, 4 2008
My question is, how do I get perl to:
print "Thu, 4 Dec 2008";
It's the day of the week I'm after.
With All Respect,
