in reply to convert my date into local time or epoch time

DateTime::Format::W3CDTF on CPAN can convert that format for you. Then just call epoch() on the resultant DateTime object.

eg:

my $time = DateTime::Format::W3CDTF->parse_datetime("2007-12-24T18:21Z
+");
print "epoch time: ".$time->epoch();
