I don't know what this first date is or whether you need it. I called it $stamp. I think this does what you want. If you don't need $stamp, then just assign it to undef.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

while (<DATA>) 
{
   next if (!/dates processed/);
   my ($stamp, @dates) = ($_ =~ /(\d+-\d+-\d+)/g);

   # or my (undef, @dates) = ($_ =~ /(\d+-\d+-\d+)/g);
   # of course if that is what you want then change 
   # the following line too!

   print "stamp=$stamp, dates are: @dates","\n";
}

#prints......
#stamp=2009-02-19, dates are: 2009-01-31 2009-01-29 2009-01-30
#stamp=2009-02-18, dates are: 2009-02-16 2009-02-17
#stamp=2009-02-19, dates are: 2009-02-18

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
