Hi, the following code would do what u want.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Time::Local;

$No_Of_Secs_In_A_Day  = 24 * 60 * 60;
$No_Of_Days_In_A_Year = 365;
$DOB                  = '29/05/1980';
($Day, $Month, $Year) = split(/\D/, $DOB);

$DOB_Time = timelocal($Secs, $Mins, $Hours, $Day, ($Month-1), $Year);
$Age      = time() - $DOB_Time;
$Age      = int($Age/$No_Of_Secs_In_A_Day);
$Age      = int($Age/$No_Of_Days_In_A_Year);
print "Person born on $DOB must be $Age yrs. today !\n";
