About your first question:
- You can use Python, Ruby, Perl with CPAN DateTime module or GNU date with "%j" specifier - simple.
- Or you can use pure Perl or bash date arithmetic functions (search them in Google) - harder.
- Or you can just use date with "+%d-%m-%Y" specifier - very simple and a standard solution for this kind of problems.
