Hi,
Based on your "points", including the fact that Ive been trying to simplify the way im going to handle the problem, I want to make some modifications:

1. Last week is 6 days before the current day, including the current day (so you will have 7 days always).
2. If the day/month has only 1 digit (eg. 1-9), there is no leading zeros. The year has a leading zero.

Thanks for your feedback. I'll try Date::Manip. Though I had a look at Date::Calc that was suggested by 3Dan, it seems to be complicated too, and not a quick solution. Otherwise, it has a lot of features. The tricky part is to get the output from the module and put it in a regular exp.

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, it gets mad at you but when you take him on a car ride,he sticks his head out the window and likes it?
