Parsing ps time

[Omnillas]

What's a good way to break up the time values returned in your average BSD-styled ps? The format is generally dd-hh:mm:ss.ss. As you know, the days portion is not always populated if days haven't accumulated depending on the aspect of time we are looking at (ie, etime, cputime, etc.).

You could use regexp, but Date::Calc might do it all for you.

I'm confused.. you just want to split the time up? check out split
for my $line (@psoutput){
my @data = split(/\:/, $line):
}
