Monks, I would like to add 14 days to my days of the month based on today's date. I am susing the code below. Any tricks to account for dates falling at the end of the month. Like when I execute this, I get 2/35/2007. Any ideas what approach I should take. Would epoch time be better? Thanks. 
use Time::localtime;

my $tm=localtime;
my ($hour,$min,$sec,$day,$month,$year)=($tm->hour,$tm->min,$tm->sec,$t
+m->mday, $tm->mon, $tm->year);
my $input = sprintf("%d/%02d/%04d",
    $tm->mday,
    $tm->mon+1,
    $tm->year+1900);
my @today = split /\//,$input;

my $due_date = sprintf("%d/%02d/%04d",
    $tm->mon+1,
    $tm->mday+14,
    $tm->year+1900);
my @due_date = split /\//,$due_date;    
$due_date = "$due_date[0]/$due_date[1]/$due_date[2]";
print $due_date;
