Here's an idea -

Code:
$ 
$ # change of month within 7 days from input
$ echo "2/26/2010" | perl -lne 'BEGIN {use DateTime} ($m,$d,$y)=split/\//;
                                $dt=DateTime->new(year=>$y,month=>$m,day=>$d);
                                for (0..6) {print $_,"\t",$dt->mdy("/"); $dt->add(days=>1)}'
0	02/26/2010
1	02/27/2010
2	02/28/2010
3	03/01/2010
4	03/02/2010
5	03/03/2010
6	03/04/2010
$ 
$ # the case of a leap year
$ echo "2/26/2008" | perl -lne 'BEGIN {use DateTime} ($m,$d,$y)=split/\//;
                                $dt=DateTime->new(year=>$y,month=>$m,day=>$d);
                                for (0..6) {print $_,"\t",$dt->mdy("/"); $dt->add(days=>1)}'
0	02/26/2008
1	02/27/2008
2	02/28/2008
3	02/29/2008
4	03/01/2008
5	03/02/2008
6	03/03/2008
$ 
$ # change of year within 7 days from input
$ echo "12/27/2009" | perl -lne 'BEGIN {use DateTime} ($m,$d,$y)=split/\//;
                                 $dt=DateTime->new(year=>$y,month=>$m,day=>$d);
                                 for (0..6) {print $_,"\t",$dt->mdy("/"); $dt->add(days=>1)}'

       DateTime::Format::Natural::Lang::EN - English language metadata

DESCRIPTION

       "DateTime::Format::Natural::Lang::EN" provides the english specific grammar and variables. This class is loaded if the user either
       specifies the english language or implicitly.

EXAMPLES

       case; furthermore, many expressions allow for additional leading/trailing time and all times are also parsable with precision in seconds):
