There are many date-processing modules. None (that I know of) take
parameters that match those of the `date` command, but most of them provide
ways of specifying what you're looking for.
Have you looked at CPAN?
P.S.: comp.lang.perl is a defunct newsgroup. General perl questions are to
be posted to comp.lang.perl.misc, and questions about modules are to be
posted to comp.lang.perl.modules. For your future postings.
