Hello jasonwolf,

I personaly prefer Date::Manip.

Sample of code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Date::Manip;
use Data::Dumper;

#                       Y M W D H M S base''start''end'
my @dates = ParseRecur("0:1:0:0:0:0:0","","today", "Jan 1 2019");
# my @dates = ParseRecur("0:1:0:0:0:0:0","","today", "01/01/2019");
# my @dates = ParseRecur("0:1:0:0:0:0:0","","today", "1st January 2019
+");
# my @dates = ParseRecur("0:1:0:0:0:0:0","","today", "First of January
+ 2019");

my @datesFormatted = map { UnixDate($_, '%Y-%m-%d') } @dates;

print Dumper \@datesFormatted;

__END__

$ perl test.pl
$VAR1 = [
          '2018-01-24',
          '2018-02-24',
          '2018-03-24',
          '2018-04-24',
          '2018-05-24',
          '2018-06-24',
          '2018-07-24',
          '2018-08-24',
          '2018-09-24',
          '2018-10-24',
          '2018-11-24',
          '2018-12-24'
        ];

Update: Adding a few more different string inputs on the end date format.

Hope this helps, BR.
