Here's a solution using Date::Parse:
use Date::Parse; while (<>) { chomp; my @t = strptime($_); my $d = sprintf("%d/%d/%d", $t[3], $t[4]+1, $t[5]+1900); print "$_ -> $d\n"; } __END__ June 12, 2008 -> 12/6/2008

Some caveats: Date::Parse only recognizes English month names and follows American conventions for things like 12/6/08 which parses as December 6th, 2008. Otherwise it will recognize most variations of specifying dates, e.g. (12 Jun 2008, 2008-06-12, etc.)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
