App::dategrep dategrep searches the named input files for lines matching a date range and prints them to stdout. If dategrep works on a seekable file, it can do a binary search to find the first and last line to print pretty efficiently. dategrep can also read from stdin and compressed files, but it has to parse every single line until the end of the range for those.
