Re: Convert string into incremental date

My question is two part:
1. I am reading a date from a file in the form mm/dd/yy (i.e.
05/30/06). I need to convert that string into a date.
2. I need to be able to increment that date:
Example:
$date = 05/30/06;
$date = $date + 1; ($date = 05/31/06)
$date = $date + 1; ($date = 06/01/06)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This might get you started :-)

use strict;
use warnings;
use DateTime;
use DateTime::Duration;
use DateTime::Format::Strptime;

my $Strp = new DateTime::Format::Strptime(
pattern => '%m/%d/%y',
time_zone => 'GMT',
);
my $dur = DateTime::Duration->new( days => 1 );

while (<DATA>) {
chomp;
my $dt = $Strp->parse_datetime($_);
print $dt + $dur;
}
__DATA__
05/31/06
06/01/06


I hope this helps
