PERL String to Date (Custom format yyyymmdd to dd-mon-yyyy)
Hi All,
I am learning PERL for one of the projects, and in one of these scripts, I read a flat text file and print in the terminal.
The problem is, the text file has a date field. The format is yyyymmdd. I need to display this as dd-mon-yyyy.
Any ideas to do this? Thanks a lot for the help.
Regards
Guru

Note: I wrongly tagged this as PERL DATE::MANIP. Looks like I need to download and use this. Is it not included in standard distribution. If not, I can't use it to.
