I have replaced the manual date logic with Perl built-ins to the extent possible. Unfortunately the kind of date math involved in the "time spent doing ..." functionality is not well-defined, so I have been forced to retain the original logic here. Sigh. You can use any punctuation character you please in the date input. So something like 2/29/2020 is perfectly acceptable. It would also have been nice to produce a localized version that supports day/month/year or year-month-day input, but that didn't happen. Also nice would have been language-specific output -- especially if it could have accommodated regional differences in which day of the week or month is unlucky. =head1 PORTED BY Thomas R.
