Shouldn't it be `strftime` instead of `strptime`? I get the impression that ravi45722 has the format string and wants to produce the current date+time according to that format. But the modules work in both directions, resp. DateTime has formatters, so the module suggestions are still good no matter the direction of conversion.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`my $t = Time::Piece->strptime("Friday 24rd Mar, 2017", "%A %drd %b, % +Y"); print $t->strftime("%a %b %d %H:%m:%s %Y");` [download] gives something like this `"Fri Mar 24 11:54:55.234 2017"` But I need that as print `$t->strftime("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss.SSS yyyy");` Is there any module like that???? I dont have unix format. I have only joda time format string	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It isn't clear to me how your problem hasn't been solved here, sorry. Perhaps you could re-state it in the form of a test so that everyone can see the issue? See How to ask better questions using Test::More and sample data for how to present that. Once we can understand what you are asking we will be better positioned to suggest some solution. Update: A thought: is it the case that you aren't interested in formatting the time but actually you want to re-format the format? ie. convert from Joda format specifiers to strftime specifiers?
