in reply to changing time date format.

Fairly similar questions have been asked quite often. I believe the generic answer is Date::Calc.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    i agree wholeheartedly with your sig. our software is becoming more and more sophisticated, and we've learned from the Y2K dramas....so why don't U.S. programmers learn once and for all to store dates in a database in international format, and apply U.S./european/other display format for display purposes only??!! I can't believe that the global company i work for still manages to churn out code in U.S. that only takes U.S. date format into consideration...WAKE UP drongos....not you..them.

      Yeah!

      I worked with NASA and all was simple... ALL files had date/times into their names in ISO8601 format...

      Only run your favorite editor and to write: 

      use DateTime::Format::ISO8601;
