I am a beginner of Perl.  How do I convert and print the following strings 
into a date format so that either the date is returned or "date not valid" 
is printed.
Input data is:

792910171010163200
552910171010163200
552913171010163200
552910171010163200
552909171010163200
552909171010163200

For each of the data value, the output should like:

552910171010163200  Sat Nov 17 10:29:55 2001

Here is some hint I read in the documentation, but still can't figure out 
how to use it:

The 552910171010163200 which is Sat Nov 17 10:29:55 2001,
(HINT: localtime) should be parsed into HH:MM:SS (Zero padded) and
WDay MMM DD, YYYY - which should look like Sat Nov 17, 2001
55: 29:  10: 17:10:  101:                                     6:      320:0
HH:MM:SS:17:Nov: year (1900 +101= 2001):Sat:  320thday of the year

Thank you very much in advance.
