Thanks, I created subroutine to do this that will return -1 if lesser, 0 for equal and 1 for greater. 

sub Date_Comp
    {
     my %months= {Jan => 1,Feb => 2,Mar => 3,Apr => 4,May => 5,Jun => 
+6,Jul => 7,Aug => 8,Sep => 9,Oct => 10,Nov => 11,Dec => 12};
     my($date1, $date2)= @_;
     my @dates1= split (" ",$date1);
      my @dates2= split (" ",$date2);
     my @times1= split (":",$dates1[3]);
      my @times2= split (":",$dates2[3]);

     my $days1= $dates1[4]*365 + $months{$dates1[1]}*30 + $dates1[2];p
+rint "\ndays1= $days1";
     my $days2= $dates2[4]*365 + $months{$dates2[1]}*30 + $dates2[2];p
+rint "\ndays2= $days2";
     my $time1= $times1[0]*60*60 + $times1[1]*60 + $times1[2]; print "
+\ntimes1= $time1";
     my $time2= $times2[0]*60*60 + $times2[1]*60 + $times2[2]; print "
+\ntimes2= $time2";
     
    if ($days1 > $days2)
        { print "\n $date1 is latest \n";    return 1    }
    elsif ($days1 < $days2)
        { print "\n $date2 is latest \n";    return -1    }
    elsif ($days1 == $days2)
        { 
        if ($time1>$time2)
            {print "\n $date1 is latest \n"; return 1    }
        elsif($time1<$time2)
            {print "\n $date2 is older \n";    return -1}
        elsif($time1 == $time2)
            {print "\n Both are same \n"; return 0    }
        }
    }
