Thank you for the suggestion. I finally got this working playing with
changing the formats here: https://www.functions-online.com/strftime.html.
Working line of code: Exec if $raw_event =~
/(^\d\d.\d\d.\d\d\d\d\s\d\d:\d\d:\d\d)/ $EventTime = strptime($1, '%m/%d/%Y
%T');
Thank you to the community for all the help!
