Getting a list of files from CVS according to date

Hi,
I am trying to get a list of files from CVS after a certain date.
For example, all the files that were added after 08/08/2009. I just need the names of the files, not the content.
I am not trying to update my sandbox, I want to compare the files to a different list I get from a data base to make sure no files are missing.
Most of the documentation I read about CVS explains how to update/refresh/commit files and not just get their names.
Does anybody know of a quick and easy way to do so?

Thanks in advance

The following command will list all the files with some kind of log
message on or after that date:

        cvs rlog -RS -d'2009-08-08' module
