(:pagelist if="date 2009-01-15..2009-01-31 {=$:Timestamp}":)

That one returns pages with a PTV $:Timestamp between the dates 2009-01-15
and 2009-01-31.  As I understand the date has to be either YYYY-MM-DD or
YYYYMMDD, not just any format.  Obviously this means you would have to
define the PTV accordingly.

I didn't try this, but I think this is how you would do it with the current
date:

(:pagelist if="date ..{=$:Timestamp}":)
