Counting pregnancy weeks

As a few of you might know, my wife is pregnant, and one thing people that is expecting a child finds out is that keeping track of the week count is very hard... So a oneliner comes to hand...

perl -MDateTime -e '$i=DateTime->new(year => 2008,month => 3,day => 5) +;print "$_ ",$i->add(weeks => 1)->strftime(q{%d/%m}), $/ for 1..40'

    Hi,
    congratulations and nice one ruoso++. You'll also find out that it is even harder to keep track of the weeks after the child has been born - your oneliner also does that nicely. Just put in the birthday.
    Regards,
    svenXY (whose son is now 30 weeks old)
