Checking for valid dates

[Tubbs, Derric L]

Is there a reasonably easy method to make sure that an entered date is
valid, I.E. is not 30 Jan 99?  I am using Time::Local to convert a date
entered through an HTML form into the epoch offset (or whatever you call it)
and would like to make sure that valid dates are entered.  Thanks
