As it turns out, perl hacking is my hobby :-) Here is your script, improved a bit, and with command line option parsing included.


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

my $day     = $o{day};      # exp day

if (!($year && $month && $day))
{
    die "Usage: $0 --year YYYY --month MM --day DD\n";
}

my $maxyear = 2038;         # highest year for 32-bit systems
my $warning = 14;           # warning window in days

if ($year >= $maxyear) { die "Max year is $maxyear\n" }

$month     -= 1;
my $ep_exp  = timelocal(0,0,0,$day,$month,$year);
my $ep_cur  = timelocal(0,0,0, (localtime(time)) [3,4,5]);

# calculate the difference and send a warning if necessary
my $days    = ($ep_exp - $ep_cur) / 86400;
if ($days <= $warning)
{
  print "Warning: Your LDAP password expires in $days days\n";
}
