Q1: How do I set the target date?

Answer

Set the target date by modifying these variables in countdown.pl:

$target_month = 12;    # Month (1-12)
$target_day = 25;      # Day of month
$target_year = 2025;   # Year (4 digits)
$target_hour = 0;      # Hour (0-23)
$target_min = 0;       # Minutes (0-59)

Example configurations:

  • New Year: Month=1, Day=1, Year=2026, Hour=0
  • Christmas: Month=12, Day=25, Year=2025, Hour=0
  • Specific event: Set exact date and time
