Depends how they're stored. If they're a day/month/year tuple, then something as simple as:

date
    var
        day
        month
        year

    proc
        compareTo(date/d)
            if(year<d.year) return -1
            if(year>d.year) return 1
            if(month<d.month) return -1
            if(month>d.month) return 1
            if(day<d.day) return -1
            if(day>d.day) return 1
            return 0


would work.

If it's stored like UNIX time (The number of seconds since an epoch date of some sort), a direct comparison will work - date1 > date2.

JavaScript is also very handy with this type of situation.

There's no reason to fork over to using a separate language for this kind of situation; especially one that relies on running strictly on a player's computer, in his browser. You can manage dates fine in DM itself...
