Ow,

Although the previous program works. There is a typo, "$d should be
$date". corrected version below:

#!/usr/bin/perl

require "timelocal.pl";

sub rdxtime
{
    my ( $date ) = @_ ;
    my @t = split(/[-:\s]/,$date);
    $t[0] -= 1900; $t[1] -= 1; # check manpage of localtime
    @t = reverse(@t);
    return timelocal(@t);
}

$d = "2007-08-13 14:39:48";

print rdxtime ($d);
