Re^2: Converting datetime string to valid localtime value (seconds)

Alternatively, don't parse the monthnames yourself and use the core module Time::Piece instead:

#!/usr/bin/env perl 
use strict;
use warnings;
use Time::Piece;

my $source = 'Mon Oct 29 15:59:06 2018';
my $time   = Time::Piece->strptime ($source, '%a %b %d %T %Y');

# Now use it however you wish
print $time->datetime . "\n";
print "Today is " . $time->fullday . "\n";
