Rego for SpringLAN2.0

Rego for SpringLAN2.0 has been open for some time.

However last night for about 30 mins people trying to register may have had errors as i was implementing proper age checking (we will be having 18+ for over night lans), rather than just 'you have to be born in a year after this year' - set with a variable at the top of the file. Now rego will check that on the day of the event, you are at least the minimum age. Saved lots of time thanks to CPAN, although ultimately i realized that all the date manipulation modules really saved me was having to deal with February in leap years when calculating age. As i had previously implemented date checking with leap years on my own (which is only one rather long line anyway). To keep ranting on, i suppose using the data manipulation libraries also saved me having to worry so much about strftime, which isnt that nasty anyway, but may as well make someone else maintained code to it!
