in reply to Perl Newbie

my ( $dev, $ino, $mode, $nlink, $uid, $gid, $rdev, $size, $atime, $mtime, $ctime, $blksize, $blocks ) = stat($file); my ( $sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $yday, $isdst ) + = localtime($mtime); # make a MySQL compatible date my $mysqlDate = strftime( "%F %T", $sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $yday, $isdst );
Try replacing this code with acquiring of the date you parsed from <data> tags ($j::date). You may need to parse and reformat the date, have a look at Date::Parse, localtime and strftime.
Sorry if my advice was wrong.

    Hi, thank you for the reply, but perhaps my question was malformed, I try to be more clear: With that script everything goes well except the return of the date inside the tag <date>...</date> I presume that the problem is in this subfunction I replicated from the subfunction that try to get the Title of the page:
    # this first bit is right out of the HTML::Parser perldoc sub title_handler { return if shift ne "title"; my $self = shift; $self->handler( text => sub { $j::title = shift }, "dtext" ); $self->handler( end => sub { shift->eof if shift eq "title"; }, "tagname,self" ); } sub date_handler { return if shift ne "date"; my $self = shift; $self->handler( text => sub { $j::date = shift }, "dtext" ); $self->handler( end => sub { shift->eof if shift eq "date"; }, "tagname,self" ); }
    And then when I call it:
    sub insertFile { my $file = shift; my $p = HTML::Parser->new( api_version => 3 ); $p->handler( start => \&title_handler, "tagname,self" ); $p->handler( start => \&date_handler, "tagname,self" ); $p->parse_file($file); .................
    If I delete the call to date, the Title subfunction goes well, but I lost the date, on the other side if I left everything as I modified, the date goes well but I lost the Title. I hope that now is more clear.....:)
      Try running your code in the debugger. Does the $j::date variable get assigned? Perhaps you need it to look like the old one (I mean, the same format, try Date::Parse and strftime("%F %T",str2time($j::date))).
      Sorry if my advice was wrong.
