The Perl tags are limited for safety from what I understand.  There's 
quite a bit I'd find easier to do if I could use Perl modules within the 
tags but I don't believe it's possible. 

To keep the number of tags down, you make one tag that calls each 
function.  It would work something like this:

[date-calc function="Day_of_Week" month="01" day="23" year="2005"]
