You don't need it. You can with a little work generate what you
need. I don't have access to an open setup, so here is a shot at using
what you already have in a normal load. You will need to modify and
possibly add some checks, but all doable using std libs:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Time::Local 'timelocal';
my %MonthNameToNbr = qw( JAN 0 FEB 1 MAR 2 APR 3 MAY 4 JUN 5 JUL 6
AUG 7 SEP 8 OCT 9 NOV 10 DEC 11);
my $checkdateinsecs = timelocal(0, 0, 0, 31,
$MonthNameToNbr{q[mar]}, 109); # generate check date once
printf "checkdateinsecs: %d\n",
$checkdateinsecs;
my $day;
my $month;
my $year;
my @cdr = ();
while ( <DATA> ) {
chomp;
next if ( /^\s*$/ );
@cdr = split(/\s*,\s*/, $_);
if ( $cdr[0] !~ /^.(\d+)\S(\S{3})\S(\d+)/ ) {
#print some type of error and either continue or die
printf "(%5d)in error:\n<%s>\n",
$.,
$_;
next;
}
$day = $1;
$month = uc($2);
$year = $3;
my $dateinsecs = timelocal(0, 0, 0, $day,
$MonthNameToNbr{$month}, $year+100);
next if ( ! ( ($dateinsecs > $checkdateinsecs ) and
$cdr[1] =~ /2.*/
)
);
# do your other processing
printf "dateinsecs: %d was greater (%d)\n",
$dateinsecs,
$.;
}
__DATA__
*04-NOV-08*,2
*04-apr-09*,3
*xx-dec-08*,2
*04-apr-09*,2
Output:
[C:/CurrWrka/00Commonprlprod/src] aapl013s
checkdateinsecs: 1233385200
( 3)in error:
<*xx-dec-08*,2>
dateinsecs: 1238824800 was greater (4)
