No timezones; This much is trivial to fix....

Indeed, that is sufficiently efficient to make it silly not to include it. Thank you.

Though It seems silly not to let the regex do its work. I reformulated that as:

sub str2epoch {
    my( $d, $m, $y, $H, $M, $S, $tzs, $tzh, $tzm ) = $_[0] =~
        m[^.... (\d\d) (...) (\d\d\d\d) (\d\d):(\d\d):(\d\d) ([+-])(\d
+\d)(\d\d)]
        or die "Bad format $_[0]";

    my $leaps =  int( ($y - 1970) / 4 + 0.5 );
    (((($y-1970)*365 +$leaps+MONTHS->{$m}+($d-1))*24 +$H)*60 +$M)*60 +
+$S
    - ($tzs eq '-' ? -1 : 1)*$tzh*3600 + $tzm*60;
}

See my answer for timegm, which does slow things down, but is a bit more robust

All the others can be handled, but eventually you just end up with the morass that is DateTime which I have no time for :)

(There is a simple workaround for the 2100 problem, but it wouldn't come to mind as I write that. And the last version I wrote is archived on a CD somewhere.)

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
