Though Jeff already suggested Date::Calc, which is
probably a better way to go, its not the module
producing the taint error, its your environment.
The module uses a system call (with backticks), but
your environment is tainted, and so the system call
fails, as it should. You need to untaint $ENV{PATH}
and $ENV{ENV} in your script, (set them to the empty
string if you don't need'em for anything else).
HTH,
