I like perl, but I don't use it enough to really get it. To manipulate dates use the =Date::Manip= package. It's big and slow but the most functional date handling package that I've seen in any language. I once had a problem installing a module using CPAN on Red Hat 9. The makefile that was generated by <nop>MakeMaker had bogus data in it, like lines with a single quote that wasn't terminated, etc. This page http://dbforums.com/arch/96/2003/7/753440 indicated that the problem was caused by RH setting the =LANG= environment to =en_US.UTF-8= and sure enough, when I =unset LANG= and ran it again it worked.
