I was trying to use Date::Simple to convert date from DD-MM-YYYY to ISO

Yeah on quick scan of the perldoc it looks like Date::Simple doesn't offer
much in the way of parsing.

Most of the date modules on CPAN cannot do the job for me. I spent time
reading documentations but as it now stands, I have to do this myself.
There are at least 2 modules that can definitely do the job for you,
Date::Manip::Date and DateTime (with DateTime::Format::Natural). I usually
use the latter, but since you want the former:
Have a look at the documentation for Date::Manip::Date and look for
parse_format and printf
If you are still stuck, don't hesitate to show your attempt and ask for
more help.
Cheers,
Michael
