yeah, strftime/strptime isn't identically portable ... I've always had issue with %Z on win32 ... but DateTime's strftime/strptime is portable

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict;
use warnings;
use Time::Piece;


my $dt = 'Fri, 20 Sep 2024 01:14:03 UTC';
my $format = '%a, %d %b %Y %T %Z';
#~ print Time::Piece->strptime( $dt, $format );

my @date = split ' ', $dt;
my @format = split ' ', $format;
for my $ix ( 0 .. $#date ){
    print "$ix    ##    ", "$date[$ix] == $format[$ix]\n";
    print "$ix    ##    ", eval {
        Time::Piece->strptime( $date[$ix], $format[$ix] );
    } || $@, "\n";
}

exit;

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
