in reply to Determine if a given DateTime is a member of a DateTime::Set

The problem is in the truncate('to' => 'day') step. What you need is to truncate to "14th day", which is not that easy.

Do you think you can do with DateTime::Event::Recurrence or DateTime::Event::ICal? These modules provide a large set of recurrence modes.

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use DateTime::Event::Recurrence; print "DateTime::Event::Recurrence: ", $/; my $start = DateTime->today(); my $biweekly = DateTime::Event::Recurrence->daily( interval => 14, start => $start, ); print 'TESTING whether Date is in set...', $/; my $date = DateTime->today(); print $biweekly->contains($date), ' ', $date->ymd, $/; $date->add('days' => 7); print $biweekly->contains($date), ' ', $date->ymd, $/; $date->add('days' => 7); print $biweekly->contains($date), ' ', $date->ymd, $/; $date->add('days' => 7); print $biweekly->contains($date), ' ', $date->ymd, $/; $date->add('days' => 7); print $biweekly->contains($date), ' ', $date->ymd, $/; $date->add('days' => 7); print $biweekly->contains($date), ' ', $date->ymd, $/;
output:
