Look up the Time::Local module. It should be able to do what you need.

Hi, I need to know the easiest way to translate a date (not today's date) into the number of seconds since 01/01/1970. I realize there is at least one function that turns the current date/time into this number, but I need to find, for instance, everything with a date/time stamp between 01/01/1998 and 01/01/2001. How is this done? Thanks, Alan ===== _____________________________________________________ "Hello. I'm Marc Bolan. I'm a superstar.
