Are you guys using another version of perl than I am? At least here, the !-operator binds more tightly than the %-operator, so that (!$_%4 &c) just won't work.

... or am I just giving away your joke now ... ?

Anyway, I guess this would work (checking the calendar). 65 chars; based on yours:

sub f { #234567890#234567890#234567890#234567890#234567890#234567890#234567890 +#234567890 for(1..($b=pop)++){$b++;$b--if$_%4;$b++if$_%100;$b--if$_%400}$b%7 }
... or my best, so far, at 52:
sub f { #234567890#234567890#234567890#234567890#234567890#2 $b+=$_%400?$_%100?$_%4?0:1:0:1for 1..($b=pop)++;$b%7 }

Update: Checking the calendar again ...
