I meant to add... I've uploaded a new version of DateTimeX::Auto so now it's possible to just do: `use DateTimeX::Auto qw(:auto); my $future = '2012-05-19' + 'P3Y4M2D'; # says '2015-09-21' say $future;` [download] The duration format isn't the most readable, but it's an ISO standard (ISO 8601 duration), so fairly well documented if you Google for it. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply] [d/l]

That ::Auto has more magic than ::Easy! And, MooseX::Types::DateTimeX lists the caveat about *::Easy that it has too much DWIMery.	[reply]

I have a similar issue. Is there a way to construct a for loop that will generate dates in format YYYMMDD starting on the first business date of the year and skip Saturdays and Sundays? Example, 20120103 20120104 20120105 20120106 20120109 20120110 20120111 20120112 etc.	[reply]
