The following does work:
my $unparsed_date = DateCalc("today","+ 7 business days");
But I'd rather set the mode explicitly. The documentation says the
following are equivalent:
$date=&DateCalc("today","+ 2 business days",\$err);
$date=&DateCalc("today","+ 2 days",\$err,2);
http://www.fnal.gov/docs/products/perl/pod.new/site_perl/5.005/Date/Manip.html
However, if I change "+ 2 days" to "+ 7 days" in the examples, I get
the following different results respectively:
2013040908:00:00
2013040508:00:00
