Monks, I'm using the following to check for things happening one year from now and one week from now. 
use DateTime::Duration ();
my $one_year_from_now = $now->add( years=>1 );

if ($reservation_date > $one_year_from_now) {
do something
}

and then

use DateTime::Duration ();
my $one_week_from_now = $now->add( weeks=>1 );

if ($reservation_date > $one_week_from_now) {
do something
}

If the one year from now routine happens before the one week from now routine, it cancels out the one week from now routine. It is as if it is resetting NOW and I don't understand why.
