There are quite a few solutions to this (not surprising) one o
them is a module called
Time::Local
I think it is a standard module so typing
perldoc Time::Local will explain it to you.
You would still need to split the date into days, month and years and
decided exactly which second you are looking for.
Make sure you feed the correct values (January=0, year = YYYY-1900 etc.)
