title: What is the best way to compare dates in Perl?
body: <p>I need to read 2 dates and compare them.</p>
  
  <p>One date is the current_date (year,month,date)
  the other is determined by the business logic.
  I then need to compare the 2 dates and see if one is before the other.</p>
  
  <p>How can I do the same in Perl?</p>
  
  <p>I am searching for good documentation, but I am finding so many Date modules in Perl. Don't know which one is appropriate for it.</p>
