Need module to accept the timestamp from command line

I need a module to accept the following timestamp from command line in Perl. 

        2010/11/29 09:39:57

I have used the Getopt::Long module to accept the command line options. But it doesn't accept the full timestamp from command line. It is accepting only date value(2010/11/29) not accepting the time value(09:39:57).

If anyone know the module to solve this issue, kindly let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Just put quotes around the timestamp. It should work fine with Getopt::Long

./script.pl -t '2010/11/29 09:39:57'

If you want them to be separate arguments, you could do something like this:

GetOptions('date=s{2}' => \@date);
my ($day, $time) = @date;
