I guess this isn't what you want to hear, but the best way to do this without installing a module is to use a module.

There exists a nice date module Date::Manip which will do almost anything with dates, and which (thanks to it being entirely Perl) you can simple copy the module's .pm files into the place you're installing your own code and it.

In general date usage there are lighter and quicker modules that'll get the job done just as well, but for use when you can't install anything this module is the one to go for.

Update: Slight clarification as to how to use it without needing to install it.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
