I don't think so:

    print scalar as_list(), "\n";

    sub as_list {
        return (99,100,101);
    }

Ah, we're getting closer:

    use DateTime;

    my $jf = DateTime->new(year  => 2006,
                           month => 1,
                           day =>   1);

    my $ff = DateTime->today();

    my $dur = $ff->delta_days($jf);
    print $dur->in_units('days'), "\n";

Think I can live with that.
