UPDATE : Please Ignore - reply to wrong node

The order of your arguments is wrong, it should be
strftime(fmt, sec, min, hour, mday, mon, year)
where mon begins at zero and year is since 1900.

my $datetimestring = "5/4/13 16:09";
my ($month,$day,$year,$hour,$min) = split /\D/,$datetimestring;
my $str =  strftime("%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S", 0,$min,$hour,$day,$month-1,$y
+ear+100);
