The output criteria will be

1. field 1 will begin as 913354744 for each as example

2. field 4 must be unique.

3. field 7 is showing dd/mm/yyyy, but it require checking if unixtime should covert to dd/mm/yyyy

4. field 8 is showing unix timestamp, but it require checking if dd/mm/yyyy should convert to unix timestamp or value 0 should prompt error.

For uniqueness checks, collect values into a hash; die with an error if the hash already contains the value you are about to add.

For time conversion, HomePage - Perl DateTime Wiki and other obvious Google hits should help you get started.

And this? Do you just mean you want to make sure it is a valid date?
