Script to show txt on specific date

[Madget]

I've been searching everywhere but couldn't find a script that displays a specific text on a specific date.

Example: On January 10, after a call to the script it will display
*Don't forget to write to John*
On January 9 it will display nothing, and on January 11 it will display nothing either.

It would be something like : date
If date = January 10 then display Don't forget to ...
which I could add into the script myself manually.

Could I include this in a .shtml file?
If there is no reminder the page displays it's normal contents, only on
a date where something is filled in it will display that reminder.

Is this possible or complicated? Is there someone less script-challenged than
I who can help me out? :-)

Cheers.

use POSIX;

$date = strftime("%Y%m%d", localtime);
print "*Don't forget to write to John* " if ($date == 20060106);

EDIT:
mlseim, is the answer so secretive that it needs to be PM'd instead of posting so others can see?

You may want to look at the Date::Calc module. This module has several functions that could be used for this task.
