One easy way to do it is to use the standard Time::Local module: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Time::Local; my $time_string = "02/05/2002 02:31:14"; my ($mday,$mon,$year,$hours,$min,$sec) = split(m![/ :]!, $time_string); my $time = timelocal($sec,$min,$hours,$mday,--$mon,$year); print "Epoch: $time\n"; __END__ -- briac << dynamic .sig on strike, we apologize for the inconvenience >> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
