You are not handling Leap Years correctly. I'd check CPAN. There are a dozen or modules that handle dates in including Date::Calc.

UPDATE: I see jryan has pointed this out also. There is also Date-Leapyear

FYI:The rules for Leap Year are:

Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year.

But every year divisible by 100 is NOT a leap year

Unless the the year is also divisible by 400, then it is still a leap year.
