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,
};Then access it with $mons->{Jul} to get the number. Or you can flip it to get a mapping of numbers to months:
$rev = { reverse(%$mons) };Replies

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