Check Date Format And Email Out

Hello All,
I have a requirement where i need to get the EXTRACT_DATE from a file and check if the date is of valid format or not and then mail it if it is not valid. Appreciate if you can help me with this.

I did the following so far.

Code:
awk '{for(i=1;i++<=NF;)if($i~/^EXTRACT_DATE/) print $i}' FCBTEXAS_v1.xml

got the following output
Code:
EXTRACT_DATE="2012-12-31"

Now i want to connect to Oracle sqlplus and pass this "2012-12-31" as an input parameter to following sql and write into log file and then grep for error message in log file if the to_date function errors out because of bad date format/data and then email out the error message.

Code:
select to_date('2012-12-31','yyyy-mm-dd') from dual

Appreciate your help and if there is another better way of handling this in shell scripting itself instead of connecting to Oracle DB to perform validation.

Thanks much.

NAME
Email::Date::Format - produce RFC 2822 date strings SYNOPSIS
use Email::Date::Format qw(email_date); my $header = email_date($date->epoch); Email::Simple->create( header => [ Date => $header, ], body => '...', ); DESCRIPTION
This module provides a simple means for generating an RFC 2822 compliant datetime string. (In case you care, they're not RFC 822 dates, because they use a four digit year, which is not allowed in RFC 822.) FUNCTIONS email_date my $date = email_date; # now my $date = email_date( time - 60*60 ); # one hour ago "email_date" accepts an epoch value, such as the one returned by "time". It returns a string representing the date and time of the input, as specified in RFC 2822. If no input value is provided, the current value of "time" is used. "format_date" is exported only if requested. email_gmdate my $date = email_gmdate; "email_gmdate" is identical to "email_date", but it will return a string indicating the time in Greenwich Mean Time, rather than local time. "format_gmdate" is exported only if requested. PERL EMAIL PROJECT
