Yet another way to do it...

use DateTime::Event::Recurrence;

my $now = DateTime->now;
my $weeks = DateTime::Event::Recurrence->weekly;

print $weeks->current( $now )->ymd,"\n";
print $weeks->next( $now )->ymd,"\n";

# output
2003-09-08

Thank you for the unbelievable fast help!

use DateTime;

my $now = DateTime->now;
my $week = $now->week_number;

print $now->ymd," now (week $week)\n";

my $first = DateTime->new(
    year => $now->week_year,
    month => 1,
    day => 1,
);


print $first->ymd," beginning of the year \n";;

$first->add( weeks => $now->week_number );

print $first->ymd, " beginning of week $week\n";

$first->add( weeks => 1 );

print $first->ymd, " end of week $week\n";

I'm glad to see others using DateTime, but that's not quite right. January 1st is not neccessarily the beginning of the week, I modified your snippet like so

update: aren't I funny {grin} every year has 52 weeks ($last->week_number, lol).

Well, it's nice that people test their code before posting it, but if you don't look at the output then what's the point? According to your program, Sep 8 is between Sep 17 and Sep 24.

How do you draw that conclusion? (nowhere do I say that Sept8 is between Sept17 and Sept24). It's like you're purposefuly being rude ;(
