This obfuscation was a good chance for me to become more familiar with the Date::Calc module.
(Update: I should have made this more clear -- as my coworker discovered this morning -- you need to actually have Date::Calc installed, otherwise the program won't produce any output.)
The script takes either a single argument, in the form of a date (eg. "8/22/98" or "Aug-22-1998"), or two dates (earlier one first).
And the purpose of the program is ...
s''us e`Date ::Cal
c`qw| :all|;su b`J{3
0+31* sin($ H*2/pop)}
sub`A {Date _to_D ays@_

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).
