Hello All I have a text file, pipe-delimited, etc. Everyday task. One of the fields is a date I show an example of its format: 2-19-01 3:22 PM. The year is supposed to be in this millenium, so I don't have to worry about 19xx years.
I wrote the next code to process this string, and I would like to ask for the wisdom of doing it in one simple regexp (s/// or kind of).

 if ($xpl[2]=~/^(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)\s+(\d+):(\d+:\d+)\s+([A|P]M)$/) {
        $xpl[2]=($3+2000)."-".$1."-".$2." ".(($6 eq "PM")?($4+12):$4).
+":".$5;
  }

The result must be acceptable for Mysql's date column type.

Thank you in advance.
