Implement basic search interface or range querying about idonethis-perl HOT 6 CLOSED

It so happens that IDT only provides a date-range interface, and WebService::Idonethis is providing a stripped-down version that sets the start and end dates to the same day.

So, the steps to make this happen are:

• Write a get_range method for WS::IDT
• Reimplement get_day in terms of get_range
• Update idone to provide ranged searches.
• Have idone display dates when a ranged search is performed.
• Figure out what to do if one is trying to add a done on a ranged search. (Probably throw an error.)

Personally I like -r start,end (and of course these should allow human-readable dates).

Agree with everything.

Okay, this is done. :)

$ idone -r '1 week ago, today'

v0.17 is headed to the CPAN now, or you can use the changes in the git repo if you're impatient. :)

Oh, and be nice with the range searches. I'm pretty sure idonethis don't actually put any restrictions on date ranges. :)

And just because I'm exceptionally proud of my command-line right now, I logged this with:

hrpg + issue -l "Added range support to idone"

and gained XP on HabitRPG, added this to my list of completed tasks, and listed all tasks I've done today. :)

Yep, it's working well, and I can grep for the stuff I want. Thanks!
