in reply to Fetching date

Do you want to capture the information like this: 
my $date = 'Jan 21 00:41';
my ($mon, $day, $hour, $min) = $date =~ /(\w+)\s(\d+)\s(\d+):(\d+)/;
foreach($mon, $day, $hour, $min){
    print "$_\n";
}

or do you just want to match it, in which case this should work 
$datehit =~ /(\w+\s\d{2}\s\d{2}\:\d{2})/;
