You could use some of the
DateTime modules for this kind of thing (you'd need to do something a bit different to make the recurrence logic jump from one Wednesday to the next):
use strict;
use DateTime::Set;
use DateTime::Format::MySQL;
my ($d1,$d2) = (DateTime->now(),DateTime->now()->add(days=>7));
my $set = DateTime::Set->from_recurrence(
after => $d1,
before => $d2,
recurrence => sub {
$_[0]->truncate(to=>'day')->add(days=>1)
},
);
my @dates = map {
DateTime::Format::MySQL->format_date($_)
} $set->as_list;
# @dates now contains a list of MySQL looking date strings
I've also done the same thing in the past by using MySQL's
from_days() function. This "works" but is probably not recommended
# non-production-ready code follows
my ($start_day,$end_day) = $dbh->selectrow_array("select to_days(now()
+), to_days(now() + interval 7 day)");
my @dates = map {
$dbh->selectrow_array("select from_days($_)")
} $start_day .. $end_day;
