You are cetainly a much better mind reader than I am. Since I had no clear idea of what he meant by the term "whole months" I wasn't sure if he wanted to calculate the integer difference in months of two dates or the number of integer months that separated two dates exclusive of the earlier and later dates or .... Perhaps if he explained better, none of us would have to guess or surmise. In any event, my guess is that Date::Manip can do the trick. **** [EMAIL PROTECTED] <Carl Jolley> **** All opinions are my own and not necessarily those of my employer **** _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-users
