The Time::ParseDate module by David Muir Sharnoff looks just the
ticket.
http://search.cpan.org/author/MUIR/Time-modules-2002.1001/lib/Time/ParseDate.pm
It essentially does the reverse of strftime(3) --- and once you've got
the time expressed as seconds since the epoch, the rest of the
calculations required should be easy.
It's available in ports as part of devel/p5-Time.
Cheers,
Matthew
