Hadoop Pig ISO Date to Unix Timestamp

I have a list of items in Pig consisting of ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD) formatted date strings:

(2011-12-01)
(2011-12-01)
(2011-12-02)

Is there any way to transform these items into UNIX timestamps apart from implementing my own functions in Java?

You need a UDF to do that = The good news it has already been done. Pig also comes with "piggybank" UDFs contributed by the community including date convert
