It might be better to use the very good Perl modules for converting to and 
from epoch style dates.  One module converts almost any text format date, but 
as it sounds like you have the individual components (hour,day,month,etc) why 
not "use Time::Local" and do 
$time=timelocal($sec,$min,$hour,$date,$month,$year) ?

Or am I completely missing the point?
