Date.pm small query

Hi there;
Is there a way to convert for example:
07 Jan 2007 13:23:23
to unix time

I tried
my $dateobj = RT::Date->new($RT::SystemUser);
$unixtime = $dateobj->Set( Format => ‘unix’, Value => $d );

where $d = “07 Jan 2007 13:23:23” but I don’t seem to get the unix time,
does it have to be formated as "2007-01-07 13:23:23"
any alternatives??

Sorry to be a pain Ruslan, but now I need to know how to convert unix
into ISO …
I thought :
$newtime = $dateobj->Set( Format => ‘ISO’,Value => $newunixtime);
should do the trick ??

The format is "what format is it coming in as. You want to look at
the various documetned output methods.

sort it just before Ruslan reply …
