Date::Manip, or if you need the speed Date::Calc. =)

"Who gave HIM a Perl interpreter?!"

Update:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Date::Manip qw(ParseDate DateCalc UnixDate);

foreach my $i (0..13) {
    # create a date by subtracting iterator ($i) days from today
    my $date = &DateCalc('today', "-$i days");

    # print the formatted date (DDmmmYY)
    print &UnixDate($date, '%d%b%y'), "\n";
}

merlyn's example is far superior to both Date::Manip and Date::Calc, and you should use that instead if you can.
