Kenneth - Thanks for response. I doubt that it is issue with split. I have another simple codes which works well.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Time::Local;
my $filename = "/tmp/IN/m1.xml";
my $finaltime = &UTCtoLocal($filename);
print "$finaltime \n";

sub UTCtoLocal {

my ($filetoread) = @_;
open (INFILE, "<$filetoread") or die "$!";
my @ActTime = map {/"(.*?)"/} grep {/MessageDateTime/} (<INFILE>);
my $iso_time = join("", @ActTime);
my $expected_epoch = 1 * 60 * 60 + 1 * 60 + 1;
my ($date, $time) = split /T/ => $iso_time;
my ($year, $mon, $mday) = split /-/ => $date;

$year -= 1900;
$mon -= 1;
my ($hour, $min, $sec) = split /:/ => $time;

my $nsec = chop($sec);
my $mtime = timegm($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year);
return ($mtime);
}

Based on these codes i prepared another one in OP as that is my main objective.

reagarding the inputfile, i have already provided the line which has this date and keyword used in the grep command.

any further clue?
