Jim, You don't need to write your own module to handle these. Just use the DateTime::Format::Strptime module. Modify the parser example below with a pattern to suit your own format. $dt will hold your new datetime object with the values parsed from your string format.my $parser = DateTime::Format::Strptime->new(pattern => '%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y'); my $dt = $parser->parse_datetime($val);
Heretic alert. Date::Manip has ParseDate and UnixDate Of course that means another module to load. \\||/ Rod --
See the CPAN page for all of the pattern options: http://search.cpan.org/~rickm/DateTime-Format-Strptime-1.0900/lib/DateTime/Format/Strptime.pm Regards, Bobby
