Determine weekends and compare two days

[Prak]

I'm not much of a perl programmer so I was hoping someone could help
me. What I need to do is determine between 2 dates whether there is a
weekend between them inclusive.

eg Between 1 Oct 2004 and 4 Oct 2004 there is a Sat. and a Sunday but
between 5 Oct 2004 and 8 Oct 2004, there is no Sat or Sunday.

Thanks in advance

You really ought to try working this one out on your own! That way you'll
understand and improve. Here's a pointer.

use Time::localtime;
my $today = time;
my $day_of_week = localtime($today)->wday;
my @days_of_week = qw(Sun Mon Tues Wed Thur Fri Sat);
print"Today is $days_of_week[$day_of_week]\n";
