in reply to perl time conversion

Time::Piece provides an interface to strptime and strftime, which i have found to be well worth learning. Here is an example that will "add" the time to today's date and print the results in a couple of different ways: 
use Time::Piece;

my $time = localtime;
my $date = $time->strptime($time->strftime('%D').' 22:49:01','%D %T');

print $date, "\n";
print "$_\n" for $date->min, $date->sec, $date->hour;
