Hi Monks,

I like to validate date value, below scripts will find if day is more the 31 days and month is more than 12. But this scripts incorrectly allow for february to have 31 days

please let me know which module support to validate date value(involved leap years ) and format. 

use Time::Local;
my ($sec,$min,$hour) = qw( 0 0 12 );
my ($mday, $mon, $year) = qw(31 02 2012);
$mon--; # because that's how unix/C treat the month value

eval {
    my $dummy = timelocal($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year);
};
print $@;
if (my $err = $@) {
    print "This is an invalid date.";
} else {
    print "Yay";
};
