Esteemed Monks,

A project of mine has just grown out of control, well for a few minutes, I am sure I can tame it!

I have been asked to add a flexible appointment system to it. So I have figured out that I need:

  1. For each service provider a DB table of DOW with start and finish times for the periods avilable for appointment.
  2. An exception table for each (what holidays don't i work and what days so I just want to take off).
  3. An altered availability table that allows the provider to change available hours within a given day or period.
OK, having that data I need to then calculate the actual times during the time period for the appointment book. The intervals need to be flexible - lets say in one minute increments.

So I would need to be able to ask: Give me a list of times between start and end in x minute intervals so that I can populate an HTML table.

Any suggestions as to modules to use? I am only familiar with Date::Manip so far.
