How can I parse a strftime formatted string in Perl?

Question

I am new to Perl and I wan to know whether there is an inverse function to the strftime(). Look,

use POSIX qw(strftime);
print strftime(\"%YT%mT%d TTTT%H:%M:         


        

Answer 1

So easyy

use Time::ParseDate;
my $t = '2009T08T14 TTTT00:37:02';

$t =~ s/TTTT//;
$t =~ s/T/-/g;

$seconds_since_jan1_1970 = parsedate($t)
