[Brisbane-pm] Convert string to date in Perl

[Damian James]

Time::Local

Or roll you own regex, something like:

   my %date;
   $_ = '25/02/1990 23:48:00';
   @date{ qw/ day month year hour minute second/} = m<^(\d\d?)/(\d 
\d?)/(\d{4}) +(\d\d):(\d\d):(\d\d)>;
   $date{ minute } += 6;
   printf "%2d/%2d/%4d %2d:%2d:%2d", @date{ qw/ day month year hour  
minute second/};

Though use the module for maintainability.
