Also there is an exception which would fall on situation like September 30th, 2017. Even though it is still in 3rd uarter, it's technically the first quarter week of the 4th quarter and thus, the first Saturday. Therefore, October 7th would be the 2nd.

For instance, the first Saturday of the 4th quarter is still in September. (September 30th).

---------- Post updated at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous update was at 11:03 AM ----------

So the condition would be, unless that Saturday is the 1st, use the prior Saturday. As that would mean the first quarter week happens sometime between last sat and current Saturday - therefore use the previous sat.
OK. So we're finally coming close to a definition of how to determine the 1st Saturday in a calendar quarter and, hopefully, the last Saturday in a calendar quarter.

You seem to have now confirmed that the 1st Saturday in a calendar quarter is the 1st Saturday before the 2nd day of the first full month of that quarter (as I asked in post #12 in this thread. And I presume (although you have never defined it) that the last Saturday of a calendar quarter is the Saturday before the 1st Saturday of the next calendar quarter. For CY 2017, this would mean that:
Code:
          Last Saturday of   1st Saturday of    Last Saturday of
Quarter   Previous Quarter   Current Quarter    Current Quarter
=======   ================   ===============    ================
1Q2017       12/24/2016        12/31/2016          03/25/2017
2Q2017       03/25/2017        04/01/2017          06/24/2017
3Q2017       06/24/2017        07/01/2017          09/23/2017
4Q2017       09/23/2017        09/30/2017          12/23/2017

Are all of these correct?

Module::Install::With(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  Module::Install::With(3)

   interactive
       The "interactive" function tests for an install that has a user present (or at least, one in which it is reasonable for us to present
       prompts and other similar types of things).

       Returns true if in an interactive environment, or false otherwise.

   automated_testing
       Are we currently running in an automated testing environment, such as CPAN Testers.

       This is primarily a cleaner and more human-readable equivalent of checking $ENV{AUTOMATED_TESTING} yourself, but may be improved in line
       with best practices at a later date.

   release_testing
       Are we currently running in an release testing environment. That is, are we in the process of running in a potential highly-intensive and
       high dependency bloat testing process prior to packaging a module for release.

       This is primarily a cleaner and more human-readable equivalent of checking $ENV{RELEASE_TESTING} yourself, but may be improved in line with
       best practices at a later date.

   win32
       The "win32" function tests if the Makefile.PL is currently running in a native Microsoft Windows Perl, such as ActivePerl or Strawberry
       Perl.

       This is primarily a cleaner and more human-readable equivalent of checking "$^O eq 'MSWin32'" yourself, but may be improved in line with
       best practices at a later date.

   winlike
       The "winlike" function tests if the Makefile.PL is currently running in a Microsoft Windows Perl, under either cygwin or a native Win32
       Perl.

       This is primarily a cleaner and more human-readable equivalent of checking "$^O eq 'MSWin32' or $^O eq 'cygwin'"yourself, but may be
       improved in line with best practices at a later date.
