yeah, strftime/strptime isn't identically portable ... I've always had issue with %Z on win32 ... but DateTime's strftime/strptime is portable 

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict;
use warnings;
use Time::Piece;


my $dt = 'Fri, 20 Sep 2024 01:14:03 UTC';
my $format = '%a, %d %b %Y %T %Z';
#~ print Time::Piece->strptime( $dt, $format );

my @date = split ' ', $dt;
my @format = split ' ', $format;
for my $ix ( 0 .. $#date ){
    print "$ix    ##    ", "$date[$ix] == $format[$ix]\n";
    print "$ix    ##    ", eval {
        Time::Piece->strptime( $date[$ix], $format[$ix] );
    } || $@, "\n";
}

exit;
