searching a file by date...
It's possible to use "find" to search a file that was modified for example between 5/10/2004 and 7/11/2005? How can i do this? I saw there is option -mtime, but i don't understand how to use it in this case. Thanks

Email::Date(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Email::Date(3pm)
NAME
Email::Date - Find and Format Date Headers
SYNOPSIS
use Email::Date;
my $email = join '', <>;
my $date = find_date($email);
print $date->ymd;
my $header = format_date($date->epoch);
Email::Simple->create(
header => [
Date => $header,
],
body => '...',
);
DESCRIPTION
RFC 2822 defines the "Date:" header. It declares the header a required part of an email message. The syntax for date headers is clearly
laid out. Stil, even a perfectly planned world has storms. The truth is, many programs get it wrong. Very wrong. Or, they don't include a
"Date:" header at all. This often forces you to look elsewhere for the date, and hoping to find something.
For this reason, the tedious process of looking for a valid date has been encapsulated in this software. Further, the process of creating
RFC compliant date strings is also found in this software.
FUNCTIONS
find_date
my $time_piece = find_date $email;
"find_date" accepts an email message in any format Email::Abstract can understand. It looks through the email message and finds a date,
converting it to a Time::Piece object.
If it can't find a date, it returns false.
"find_date" is exported by default.
format_date
my $date = format_date; # now
my $date = format_date( time - 60*60 ); # one hour ago
"format_date" accepts an epoch value, such as the one returned by "time". It returns a string representing the date and time of the
input, as specified in RFC 2822. If no input value is provided, the current value of "time" is used.
"format_date" is exported by default.
format_gmdate
my $date = format_gmdate;
"format_gmdate" is identical to "format_date", but it will return a string indicating the time in Greenwich Mean Time, rather than
local time.
"format_gmdate" is exported on demand, but not by default.
