Although Perl/CPAN makes some good form handling modules available I think that the more client side data checking you can do the better. For date input I'd go with javascript, and I'd use an input calendar to control the data. See, for example, a prototype I'm working on at http://www.southwindssailing.com/pressgang/ which uses a nice javascript/DHTML input calendar by Lea Smart (www.totallysmartit.com).
