Hi All,

I am trying to implement the logic that will return the date of nearest saturday (similar to oracle next_day function)... here is what I have so far: 

perl -MDate::Calc=:all -e 'printf "%04s%02s%02s", Add_Delta_Days(Monda
+y_of_Week(Week_of_Year(Today())), 5);'

The code above is giving correct results for most of the week hoever it looks wrong when run on saturday and sunday. Then instead of nearest(read next) saturday it returns current day...

Could you advice please what would be the best way to do this?

btw, I am looking for one liner but any solution is welcome.

Thanks in advance!
PP
