Hope you can help!

How Exactly? Do you have a specific issue or just a loose spec. If you have specific coding issues you are likely to get rapid help. If you don't know where to start you probably need to hire someone. If the question is can Perl do this the answer is yes. If you are looking libraries to do most of the work see Date::

The following is an example of taking two days and figuring out the delta of business days.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Date::Calendar;
my $date_1 = [2003,9,24];
my $date_2 = [2003,10,9];
my $flag_1 = '1';
my $flag_2 = '0';


my $calendar = Date::Calendar->new({});
my $days = $calendar->delta_workdays($date_1,$date_2,$flag_1,$flag_2);
print "$days\n";

There is also the ability to build your holiday list as well.

There is also Date::Business but I haven't given that a shot yet.

I think Date::Calc module would be of some use for you. At least it allows you to calculate time intervals, add them, etc.

unfortunately, Date::Calc cannot contend with business days, nor holidays. if you wanted to use Date::Calc, you'd have to implement that stuff yourself. great if you've lost your hair shirt...;-)

Sure it can. Check out: check_business_date, Standard_to_Business, Business_to_Standard, Easter_Sunday & the recipes (especially #10 solution #2).

It's not necessarily the easiest way to do it though. ;-)
