Time::Seconds and Time::Piece are core modules, they do not need to be installed, and Date::Calc, already mentioned in this thread, is used to calculate the arbitrary date. But sure, how about this, then? Update: changed hour to noon, instead of midnight, thanks daylight saving time (now works for the week of March 14 2010, thanks ikegami) Read more...

The numbers are for Date::Calc on its own. You didn't appear to be using Time Piece or Time::Seconds, so I didn't count them.	[reply]

`ONE_DAY` is from Time::Seconds and the object interface to the return value of localtime (instead of accessing array elements by index) is from Time::Piece. Date::Calc was used since its Mktime method accepts date and time fields more obviously than Time::Local's timelocal does, and it had been mentioned in the thread already. It was either that or DateTime which is heavier, but is the Date/Time module I usually use. I guess Time::Local is a fine, if not completely intuitive, choice.	[reply] [d/l]
