Monks, I'm using the following to prohibit reservations being made more than a specified number of days in advance. 

if ($fc_days_limit) {
use DateTime::Duration ();
my $days_from_now = $now->clone->add( days=>$fc_days_limit );


    if ($reservation_date > $days_from_now) {
      #show error
}
}

This works well, but is too specific to the time. If $fc_days_limit=7 and it is noon and I make a reservation 7 days from now for 11am, it works. If I make it for 1pm, it shows an error. I need to have it triggered only by the date without including the time. I could parse the timestamp but isn't there an easier way to do it?
