A software class designed to validate dates, ensuring they adhere to a specific format and are within a valid range. Useful for applications that rely on accurate date input, such as scheduling or booking systems.
As a software review, CGI::Untaint::date is a powerful tool for verifying reasonable dates. The software utilizes Date::Manip as its foundation and determines whether the date submitted is logically sound. Reasonable dates include those that appear in the following formats:
- December 12, 2001
- 12th December, 2001
- 2001-12-12
- next Tuesday
- third Wednesday in March
The syntax to activate CGI::Untaint::date involves using the CGI::Untaint package and creating a new handler. This can be done with the following code:
use CGI::Untaint;
my $handler = CGI::Untaint->new($q->Vars);
Once the handler has been established, the extract function can be called with -as_date and the name of the desired variable. This retrieves the date, which has been checked for sensibility by CGI::Untaint::date.
Overall, CGI::Untaint::date is a reliable and useful piece of software, perfect for anyone who needs to verify reasonable dates within their applications.
