Re: Sorting dates and times

I came up with something like

perl -MDate::Parse -MData::Dumper -n -le'chomp; s/:/ /; s/\// /g; s/\s
+\-\d+//; m/\[(.*?)\]/; print $1; $h{str2time($1)} = $_; END{ print $h
+{$_} for sort keys %h }' dates.log
[download]

where my test file, dates.log was:

d 30/Mar/2002:00:03:44 -0500
b 22/Mar/2002:00:03:44 -0500
a 15/Mar/2002:00:03:44 -0500
c 24/Mar/2002:00:03:44 -0500

hope this helps.
