I'm using the excellent Time::Piece module and it is working well for me except for one thing. I need to parse an RFC 822 style Date with strptime. What I want is something like:
$date = Time::Piece->strptime($msg->date, "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z");
but apparently %z is a GNUism and not supported by the module. So is there an alternate format string I can use instead? Or if worst comes to worst, is there another module that can convert an RFC 822 date into a comparable quantity?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
