Ok, I'm using Linux Slackware64 but...
Code:
perl date.pl 
Can't locate Switch.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Switch module) (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5
 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at date.pl line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at date.pl line 3.

it seems that Switch it's no so standard Smilie.

Is it a bug?
Code:
# 1)
$> date --date="2013/10/20 - 203 days" '+%Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S'
2013-03-31 00-00-00

$> perl date.pl -d '2013/10/20 - 203 days'
2013-03-30 23:00:00

# 2)
$> date --date="2013/10/25 + 3 days" '+%Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S'
2013-10-28 00-00-00

$> perl date.pl -d '2013/10/25 + 3 days'
2013-10-27 23:00:00

# 3)
$> perl date.pl -d 'now + 3 days'
Unknown argument now

$> perl date.pl -d 'today + 3 days'
Unknown argument today

I think it's very hard what you're trying to do.

CGI::Untaint::date(3pm) 				User Contributed Perl Documentation				   CGI::Untaint::date(3pm)

NAME
CGI::Untaint::date - validate a date SYNOPSIS
use CGI::Untaint; my $handler = CGI::Untaint->new($q->Vars); my $date = $handler->extract(-as_date => 'date'); DESCRIPTION
is_valid This Input Handler verifies that it is dealing with a reasonable date. Reasonably means anything that Date::Manip thinks is sensible, so you could use any of (for example): "December 12, 2001" "12th December, 2001" "2001-12-12" "next Tuesday" "third Wednesday in March" See Date::Manip for much more information on what date formats are acceptable. The resulting date will be a Date::Simple object. Date::Simple for more information on this. date_format By default ambiguous dates of the format 08/09/2001 will be treated as UK style (i.e. 8th September rather than 9th August) If you want to change this, subclass it and override date_format() WARNING
Date::Manip does not play nicely with taint mode. In order to work around this we locally clobber Date::Manip's 'timezone' code. As we're only interested in dates rather than times, this shouldn't be much of an issue. If it is, then please let me know! SEE ALSO
