doubt in converting to epoch time

pavanponnapalli

hi,
i am using Date::Time and using localtime function to convert a given timestamp to epoch seconds. Everything is fine. The problem comes when we give date someting like 2008-11-31 04:45:45 . The error it is giving is date out of range (0..30). It is not converting date with 31 to its equvivalent epoch seconds.
How to convert this into epoch seconds? Pls give me a solution.

Thanks,
Pavan

You've posted recent questions and appear to never return to read the replies:

About debugging
Diffrence between timestamps
Freeing up memory by undefining perl variables

So I am not inclined to waste my time posting replies anymore.

The code you posted:

That does nothing. You loaded Time::Local and didn't use any of its functions, and localtime() doesn't take a date as its argument, it takes epoch seconds as its argument. If no argument is supplied it uses time.
