You're not showing the actual Perl code, only what you suspect is relevant
to the problem at hand. DAYOFYEAR() works fine with literal dates and with
NOW(), so my guess is that you're constructing your first query improperly
(perhaps a problem with the quote marks).
It's only a guess, because you haven't shown the code.

No flames, just show the code.
