I am trying to place the date of each day of the week for each month that has 5 weeks into a hash. For instance my hash key 'Monday' would point to an array that has all the dates where Monday is in the fifth week of the month. I've got that part going. My problem is I am having a problem accessing the hash. Data dumper shows me the data is there, but when I try to access I am doing something wrong.
