my $in_5_days = localtime (time + 5 * 86400);

If you want it as values instead of a string, use list context
instead of scalar context. "perldoc -f localtime&quot; for details.

Try the DateTime package. It can do many things including addition and
subtraction of periods of time, which works correctly with respect to
a given time zone with all crazy things like DST transitions, leap
seconds and such: http://datetime.perl.org/

Good luck
