Hello all I have a file that I am parsing with a time/date in the
format of:
Mon May 14 10:19:46 EDT 2007
I want to take this and turn that into epoch does anyone have a good
way to do this quickly?
Thanks,
-Steve

use Date::Parse;
my $time = str2time('Mon May 14 10:19:46 EDT 2007');
You'd have to install the Date::Parse module first. It can be found on
CPAN and as part of some Linux distributions.

Download the Date::Parse module from CPAN.
http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/TimeDate-1.16/lib/Date/Parse.p m
$ perl -MDate::Parse -le'print str2time("Mon May 14 10:19:46 EDT
2007");'

You're welcome.
You can search for modules like this on CPAN's site:
http://search.cpan.org/
Date::Manip module works very good for these kind of operations.
Check it out on CPAN.
my $start_date = "Mon May 14 10:19:46 EDT 2007" ; ( your input )
Something like the following should do what you want.
ParseDate($start_time);
my @FORMATS = ( "%s" ) ;
my $sec_start = UnixDate( $start_date, @FORMATS ) ;
