in thread Converting POSIX format date/times to epoch seconds

While there are other date modules, Date::Manip is one of, if not the most versatile.
One thing to be aware of though, is that it is very heavy to use in an environment where performance matters.
I use it when I can, and replace it with small, custom routines in places where it's just too slow.
