try
Code:
#tomorrow
perl -e 'print scalar localtime(time + 86400), "\n";'
#2nd day or day after tomorrow
perl -e 'print scalar localtime(time + 86400*2), "\n";'
#3rd day from today
perl -e 'print scalar localtime(time + 86400*3), "\n";'
and so on...

Additionaly you can format the date format using below parameters
Code:
perl -MPOSIX -le 'print strftime "%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S", localtime(time + 86400)'

Sun Aug 10 00:04:21 2014  status  ACK  ldapuser1 admin  0  Sat Aug 09 23:53:20 2014  loret  ctn1342  WARNING

Now i need this in an excel... I beleive tr command will work, but need to know delimiter id for tab... tried with /t but dint help.. please suggest...
