Ok, I got it to work, one more question For some reason I can run it from the shell but when I incorporate it into my script it crashes it. and only crashes it from a browser, what am I missing? 
{ 
use Date::Parse;
use Date::Format;
use Date::Language;

 $format    = '%A, %B %o %l:%M%p';
 $language  = Date::Language->new('English');

## Start
 $date_time = '08/24/06 09:30';
 $time      = $language->str2time( $date_time );     # 1. Parse
 $newtime   = $language->time2str( $format, $time ); # 2. Output

{
print "$newtime\n";
}
}
