# who are interested can check my logic and correct it if
# it is wrong or feel better seeing that I am going to
# give them the correct answer every time.
# mday is the month day as from localtime() range is 1..31
# wday is the day of the week as from localtime() range is 0..6 (Sun=0)
# cday is the value from the loop to calculate the solution range is 0..6
# This program goes cycles through every mday
# then calculates each wday for that mday
# Compare the out put of this program against the file months.txt
# and you will see that wday always gives the correct week
# while cday is often wrong. This is why I calculate all of the
# days and push them into a has keyed by wday instead of just running
# the calculation and using cday.
# I am no mathematician so I cannot do the proof showing why this
# formula works, it just does.
for $mday (1 .. 31) {
# makes mday index from 0 just like wday
