Date::Calc::check_date is C,

boolean DateCalc_check_date(Z_int year, Z_int month, Z_int day)
{
    if ((year >= 1) and
        (month >= 1) and (month <= 12) and
        (day >= 1) and
        (day <= DateCalc_Days_in_Month_[DateCalc_leap_year(year)][mont
+h]))
            return(true);
    return(false);
}

and it basicly uses:

boolean DateCalc_leap_year(Z_int year)
{
    Z_int yy;

    return( ((year AND 0x03) == 0) and
            ( (((yy = (Z_int) (year / 100)) * 100) != year) or
                ((yy AND 0x03) == 0) ) );
}

const Z_int DateCalc_Days_in_Year_[2][14] =
{
    { 0, 0, 31, 59, 90, 120, 151, 181, 212, 243, 273, 304, 334, 365 },
    { 0, 0, 31, 60, 91, 121, 152, 182, 213, 244, 274, 305, 335, 366 }
};

const Z_int DateCalc_Days_in_Month_[2][13] =
{
    { 0, 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31 },
    { 0, 31, 29, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31 }
};

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
