  Description     : validate a date in Perl

This Input Handler verifies that it is dealing with a reasonable
date. Reasonably means anything that Date::Manip thinks is
sensible, so you could use any of (for example):
"December 12, 2001"
"12th December, 2001"
"2001-12-12"
"next Tuesday"
"third Wednesday in March"

The resulting date will be a Date::Simple object.
