Thank you, sir. I'll give it a try. I cobbled something together real
quick, and it showed.

I haven't used it much, except as XML::XQL makes use of it, but I've
looked over the manpage for Date::Manip, and I'm impressed with it. That
was sort of another point I wanted to make - it's slower than other Date
modules for a number of things, but for sheer ability and scope it's
unrivalled.
