print date loop

[cb49747]

Ok,

I have a date that will change on the user, but will be in this format 20060201 which is Feb 1 2006. I than run a loop any where from 1 to 360 times. Every time I run the loop I want the date to advance one month. I know I could do this by grabing the month (02) and than add one every loop and when it gets to 13 change to 1 and add one to the year.

However I was hope there was some date function in perl that would do this for me.

any ideas?

there are a lot of date options available in perl, but I believe your way is going to be as good as any of them because what you want to do is nothing complicated.
