Correct. When I needed to get the epoch time value of "some random sunday" for testing, Date::Manip was the first thing that came to mind.

1) My system is central US time, the test box I installed to is PHT (Phillipines), and I'm not sure whether the one it's failing on is using PHT or German time. Fun, no? But you're right - I had been assuming all operations would be in the machine's local time, regardless of what that may be. Is there a more reliable way to say "give me a time value for a day that is a Sunday/Tuesday in the current time zone"?

2) The provided UI mockup included 7 checkboxes to indicate weekday/weekend status independently for each day, implying that the sets need not be contiguous. Su,Tu,Sa = weekend / M,W,Th,F = weekday doesn't work with a begin/end range.
