Perl is certainly not my thing!

I do use this script (mainly for analysing RRD's which use epoch times), but it only accepts numerical values.

Code:
cat ToEpoch
#!/usr/bin/perl

my $day = @ARGV[0];
my $mon = @ARGV[1] -1;
my $year = @ARGV[2];

my $hour = @ARGV[3];
my $min = @ARGV[4];
my $sec = @ARGV[5];

use Time::Local;
my $time = timelocal($sec,$min,$hour,$day,$mon,$year);
print $time."\n";

$ ./ToEpoch 15 06 2011
1308088800

$ ./ToEpoch 15 6 2011 16 00 00
1308146400
