Hello bgroper,
An alternative way on using the Date::Manip module could be:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Date::Manip;
use feature 'say';
my $date1 = ParseDate("today");
my $date2 = ParseDate("2019-08-10");
my $delta = DateCalc($date2, $date1, \my $err, 1);
say Delta_Format($delta, "Months: %Mv Days: %dv");
__END__
$ perl test.pl
Months: -2 Days: 0
You can create your own conditions based on the string when you want to have an alarm etc.
Hope this helps, BR.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
