Sometimes old ways are the simplest (even if not pure Perl):
$ date -d "2012-12-30 12pm + 10 days"
Wed Jan 9 12:00:00 EST 2013
$ date -d "2012-12-30 12pm - 10 days"
Thu Dec 20 12:00:00 EST 2012
To print just the date:
$ date -d "2012-12-30 12pm + 10 days" +%F
2013-01-09
Or just the day:
$ date -d "2012-12-30 12pm + 10 days" +%A
Wednesday
The "12pm" is there to avoid leap-day related surprises.
