SPUG: Perl Y2K Bug on Display!

Just stumbled across a web page that suggests that some programmer out
there didn't read the Camel closely enough. At the bottom of the page,
the year 19101 appears, in classic Perl Y2K bug style! 8-}

It's coming from a ShowDate(); call embedded within <SCRIPT> tags.
Anybody know where that function comes from?
