fyi, I'm on the redhat linux. Well ths this the first I saw about
Date::Calc. In any case, I have a pretty straight forward requirements and
will ask you or anyone familiar dates for recommendation. Taking into
consideration my requirements, what is the best date modules available
that you can recommend?
Requirements:
- increment date by sec,min,hour,day,month and year
- I'd would use the localtime if I can figure out how to calculate
incrementing by days and handling 28,29,30,31 days of the month.
- the ability to access and format the output as in localtime.
thanks,
