Been struggling with a new script I'm porting over from bash because perl's DBI is much more elegant than my previous usage of sqsh.
I'm having trouble converting from a datetime into a unix epoch timestamp. under bash, this is done. date = YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS epoch_date = date -d "$date" +%s $date Mon Aug 13 14:39:48 MYT 2007 $date -d "2007-08-13 14:39:48" +%s 1186987188 Under perl, I have no idea how this can be achieved. Neither localtime, timelocal or AFAICT, DateTime can achieve this easily. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
