I had a similar problem earlier today. I needed a method to parse human-readable dates that were generated by various systems. I found that the [http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Time-modules|Time-modules], and specifically [http://search.cpan.org/doc/MUIR/Time-modules-100.010301/lib/Time/ParseDate.pm|Time::ParseDate], should be able to convert various date formats to the time in seconds since January 1st, 1970 (the epoch).<p>
This solves the most difficult part of your problem. I'm not sure if there is a module that handles the conversion to MySQL format--in the past I've used [perlfunc:localtime|localtime] to do these types of conversions.
