What am I doing wrong with struct tm?

[MGrancey]

I have look around and around, and now matter what I seem to do I just can't seem to get this to work. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I've tried it with 'struct' in front of 'tm *today' as well

When I debug it, I get "Error 2 error C2228: left of '.tm_mon' must have class/struct/union". Which I don't get since I thought I had declared it.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{

	char test;
	time_t now;
	tm *today;

	time(&now);
	today=localtime(&now);

	cout << today.tm_mon << endl;

	cout << "Did it work?";
	cin >> test;

  return 0;
}

What am I doing wrong?
