Try searching CPAN when books/docs don't give you the function you want. Here's one that looks like it will do the trick:<br><br> <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/TimeDate-1.16/lib/Date/Parse.pm">http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/TimeDate-1.16/lib/Date/Parse.pm</a><br>

I have a date that is a string such as: Thu Jul 3 17:43:45 2008<br>
<br>
and need to convert it to epoch seconds. I am scowering my perl books<br>
and the web but cannot find a function to help me do this. Does<br>
anyone know how this can be done?<br>
<br>
Thanks and Happy 4th weekend,<br>
