baperl has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

hi, I am supposed to work with cgi frames and for one of the fields on the form I need the user to enter the date. Is there a way one can add a calendar icon so the user can select the date without caring about the format. I refered to this example to write my code: 
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/MARKSTOS/CGI.pm-3.55/examples/frameset.
+cgi

[download]
also, one of the examples on this website uses CGI::push, and I was unable to find that module in PPM. Is it unavailable in PPM? thanks!

    CGI::Push is included with the CGI module; you likely already have it. Try >perl -e "use CGI::Push; print $CGI::Push::VERSION,$/;" to confirm.

    This is not really a Perl question, but you can use jQueryUI datepicker for that. Or any other javascript datepicker (there's really a lot of them in the wild)
