Use Date::Parse and Date::Format, it works much the same way. It is part of
the TimeDate package on CPAN.
use Date::Parse;
use Date::Format;
$date = time2str("%Y-%m-%d", str2time("22-January-2002"))'

Subject: Date Manipulation
I was wondering if there is an easy way to convert between date formats in
PERL.
Specifically I need to rewrite "22-January-2002" as "2002-01-22" prior to
inserting into a date field in MySQL.
In PHP (which is what I usually code in) I would just do something like
$date = date("Y-m-d",strtotime("22-January-2002"));
If anyone could give me a PERL equivalent of this line of code I would
greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
