Hi All Perl Gurus,
I am a AIX/Linux Admin, I am writing a shell script where i m
using the following line ...

NDay=21;NMonth=06;NYear=12;NSec=15;NMin=30;NHour=12
perl -e ' use Time::Local; print scalar timelocal( $NSec, $NMin, $NHour, $NDay, $NMonth, $NYear)'

But it giving me error as below ....

Day '' out of range 1..31 at -e line 1

Any help will be very help full ... how to cope with this problem ...

Hi

If I understand your problem correctly, you are setting 6 shell variables then wondering why no Perl variable exist with the same names.

Either change the single quotes ( ' ) to double quotes ( " ) so the shell's variable expansion alter the Perl code before execution :

[blue]master #[/blue] NDay=21;NMonth=06;NYear=12;NSec=15;NMin=30;NHour=12

[blue]master #[/blue] perl -e "use Time::Local; print scalar timelocal $NSec, $NMin, $NHour, $NDay, $NMonth, $NYear"
1342863015

Or [tt]export[/tt] you variables and tell Perl that you are talking about environment variables :

[blue]master #[/blue] export NDay=21 NMonth=06 NYear=12 NSec=15 NMin=30 NHour=12

[blue]master #[/blue] perl -e 'use Time::Local; print scalar timelocal $ENV{NSec}, $ENV{NMin}, $ENV{NHour}, $ENV{NDay}, $ENV{NMonth}, $ENV{NYear}'
