Hello,

I have date items of the form yyyy-mm-dd and I'd like to be
able to manipulate them in the following ways:

Given such a date I'd like to ask ordinal questions such as:
what was the date k days before (e.g., what is the date
yesterday) or what will be the date n days from that date
(e.g., what's the date 10 days later).

What's a practical way to go about this?

I like to use Date::Calc for things like this.
https://metacpan.org/module/STBEY/Date-Calc-6.3/lib/Date/Calc.pod

This may be the function your looking for:
($year, $month, $day) = Add_Delta_Days($year, $month, $day, $Dd);

IINM, $Dd can be negative.
