Perl month hash  

I'm really tired of retyping this:

my $mons = {'Jan'=>1,'Feb'=>2,'Mar'=>3,'Apr'=>4,'May'=>5,'Jun'=>6, 'Jul'=>7,'Aug'=>8,'Sep'=>9,'Oct'=>10,'Nov'=>11,'Dec'=>12};

Incase, you want the reverse one with strict

the code is right you just have to know how to get at the data

my %mons = ('Jan'=>1,'Feb'=>2,'Mar'=>3,'Apr'=>4,'May'=>5,'Jun'=>6,
'Jul'=>7,'Aug'=>8,'Sep'=>9,'Oct'=>10,'Nov'=>11,'Dec'=>12);

print $mons{'Jan'};

my $mon = {'Jan'=>1,'Feb'=>2,'Mar'=>3,'Apr'=>4,'May'=>5,'Jun'=>6,
'Jul'=>7,'Aug'=>8,'Sep'=>9,'Oct'=>10,'Nov'=>11,'Dec'=>12};

print $mon->{'Jan'};
