# CGI::ValidOp::Check::date(3pm)

CGI::ValidOp::Check module to check if input looks like a date.

## NAME

CGI::ValidOp::Check::date - CGI::ValidOp::Check module to check if input looks like a date.

## DESCRIPTION

- iso

  Checks for ISO 8601 compliance:  YYYY-MM-DD.  Returns date in compliant format, zero-padded if necessary.

- american

  Checks that the date is a standard American mm/dd/yyyy or mm-dd-yyyy date.  Insists on 4 digit years.  Leading zeros for month and day are optional.

  Returns date in ISO format with leading zeros.

  This allows the application to handle dates in a single, consistent format.  The presentation layer can then concern itself with what format dates need to be displayed in.
