Convert any given time to epoch time in Perl
 
Hi,

Any idea in perl, how can I convert a date in the format "2016-11-20 12:42:40" to epoch time.

Thanks.
Ravi

Hi Folks,

Just figured out..

Quote:
/usr/bin/perl -MDate::Parse -e 'print Date::Parse::str2time("2017-02-11 15:16:48"), "\n"'
Regards,
Ravi

In the Perl language there are literally dozens of CPAN modules that can do anything you might imagine to do with dates and times.

(As noted below: some are built-in.)

There's also Date::Calc if you need to further manipulate, compare, or calculate dates.


All times are GMT -5. The time now is 12:53 AM.
