This is just a guess since I've never looked at it myself, but have you
checked the Date::Calc module? This sort of task seems to be something that
would be appropriate for a module of said name.

I could be wrong, but it's worth a quick investigation via CPAN shell's
'readme Date::Calc' ... I'm just too lazy to do it for you ;-)
