Try this: 

use strict;
use warnings;
use Time::Local;

my $sec_per_day = 60*60*24;
my $now = time;
my @now = localtime( $now );
my $today_noon = timelocal( 0, 0, 12, @now[ 3..5 ] );

my $delta = ( $now[ 6 ] - 1 ) % 7;
my $monday_noon = $today_noon - $delta*$sec_per_day;

my $t = $monday_noon;
for ( 1 .. 5 ) {
  my @t = localtime $t;
  print +( scalar localtime timelocal( 0, 0, 0, @t[ 3..5 ] ) ), $/;
  $t += $sec_per_day;
}
__END__
