Re: Convert date to timestamp

Correction:  That line should be:

my $perlTime = timelocal("01","01","01",$day,$month - 1,$year); 

You should use noon, not midnight (or close to it).

my $unix_epoch = timelocal( 0, 0, 12, $day, $month - 1, $year - 1900 );

Here in North America (at least in most places) there is one day that has 25 hours and one that has 23 hours every year. Using noon, will get around most of the problems with this.

For more info, search the web for 'Daylight Saving Time'.
