in thread add date picker in cgi page

I think the Link() function needs a capital L. At least in the version I'm using, link() gives an error, while Link() works perfectly.

    Hmm. Good call out. It was a poor practice on my part to use link there since it’s a built-in. CGI has been a moving target for awhile which I actually dislike… but, active maintenance is better than bit rot even when one disagrees on code direction.

    # CGI -> 3.63 perl -MCGI=link -le 'print link({-href=>"/",-rel=>"stylesheet"})' <link href="/" rel="stylesheet" />
    # CGI -> 4.28 perl -MCGI=Link -le 'print Link({-href=>"/",-rel=>"stylesheet"})' <link href="/" rel="stylesheet" />

    Changes file says it was “various beta versions” / 2.37 when it was changed, but it wasn’t really in until some point between the two above.
