Here's an idea -

Code:

$ 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

$ echo "12/27/2009" | perl -lne 'BEGIN {use DateTime} ($m,$d,$y)=split/\//;
                                 $dt=DateTime->new(year=>$y,month=>$m,day=>$d);

NAME

       sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts

SYNOPSIS

       sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port]

       sieveshell --help

DESCRIPTION

       sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server.	It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress.

       The following commands are recognized:

	   list list scripts on server.

	   put <filename> upload script to server.

	   get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout

	   delete <name> delete script.

	   activate <name> activate script.

	   deactivate deactivate all scripts.

OPTIONS

       -u user, --user=user
	   The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.

       -a authname, --authname=authname
	   The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).

       -r realm, --realm=realm
	   The realm to attempt authentication in.

       -e script, --exec=script
	   Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
