I have a script that I've been writing that automates weekly data retrieval. I've been using Date::Calc's Week_of_Year function to determine that it's time to retreive data. My problem is that the data's week ends on Saturday but Week_of_Year ends on Sunday, therefore if data are recieved on Sunday it continues looking for data even though the data have already been retrieved.
Earlier today I asked this question in the cb, but unfortunately the suggested "%U" in strftime does not work the same as Week_of_Year.
print strftime("WEEK Number%n%U%n%nYear%n%Y", 1,1,1,31,11,103)
WEEK Number
52

Year
2003

printf "Week Number\n%d\n\nYear\n%d", Week_of_Year(2003,12,31)
Week Number
1

Year
2004

Does anyone know how to use an offset or have any suggestions for a work around?
