Thanks Mike;
Actually, I tried it without quotes too and it did work but in my haste I used $x instead of $y.
Of course. $x did not advance the date (quotes or no quotes :)), making me think it wasn't working.

# now build an array of dates

for ($x=0; $x <= $days_net; $x++){

$y = $x*24;

$date_slice = $Tag->time( '', { adjust => $y }, '%A, %B %d, %Y' );

push (@dates, $date_slice);

}

sheepishly,
