Once you can nail down the text that has the date in it, Time::Piece can do everything else. 
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Time::Piece;

my @dates;

while (<DATA>) {
   next unless /Launching the JVM with following options/;
   my ($date, $line) = split /::/,$_,2;
   $date = Time::Piece->strptime($date, "----- %a %b %d %T %Y");
   push @dates, [ $date, $line ];
}

for (@dates) {
   print $_->[0]->strftime("%Y-%m-%d %T") . " $_->[1]";
}


__DATA__

+options.

Change for to while while reading (<DATA>).. so you don't read all into memory at once
