You should be aware, though, that Perl's <= and >= operators simply do numeric comparison. In other words, your script will not work without modification e.g. across a month boundary. The solution is to parse the date strings, and use the resulting raw numbers for comparison.
Oops, you noticed already. Anyway, Google for date parsing in Perl. Also perhaps read the time and date handling threads in the FAQs for these forums.

xsil2graphics
XSIL2GRAPHICS(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation XSIL2GRAPHICS(1)
NAME
xsil2graphics - generate scripts to load xsil output data files
SYNOPSIS
xsil2graphics [options] <xsil_file>
DESCRIPTION
Utility program bundled with xmds, used to generate scripts that load simulation output data into either matlab (http://www.mathworks.com)
or scilab (http://www.scilab.org), which are then used to manipulate the results further if necessary and then to present the results
graphically.
Matlab
To generate a matlab m-file, from the xsil file data_file.xsil use the command:
bash$ xsil2graphics data_file.xsil
or
bash$ xsil2graphics --matlab data_file.xsil
Then at the matlab command prompt:
>> data_file
Scilab
To generate a scilab script file, from the xsil file data_file.xsil use the command:
bash$ xsil2graphics --scilab data_file.xsil
Then at the scilab command prompt:
--> exec('data_file.sci')
OPTIONS
-m, --matlab generate matlab m-file script to load data from the xsil data file (the default option)
-s, -scilab generate scilab script file to load data from the xsil data file
-o, --outfile <out_file> specify an alternative output script filename to the default which is the input xsil filename with the .xsil
extension changed to either .m for the matlab m-file or .sci for the scilab script file
EXAMPLES
bash$ xsil2graphics nlse.xsil
Generates the output nlse.m to load the data into matlab
bash$ xsil2graphics -m nlse.xsil
Also generates the output nlse.m but explicitly sets matlab to be the output format
bash$ xsil2graphics --scilab nlse.xsil
Generates the output nlse.sci to load the data into scilab
bash$ xsil2graphics --outfile nlse_new.m nlse.xsil
Generates the output nlse_new.m to load the data into matlab
