use strict;
use warnings;

open (FIN, "time.txt")|| die "Cannot Open the input file : $!";
read FIN, my $file, -s FIN;
close (FIN);

$file=~s/(\d+)-(\d+)-(\d+)/$1*3600 + $2*60 + $3/ge;

open (FOUT, ">Out_time.txt") || die "Cannot create the output file : $!";
print FOUT $file;
close (FOUT);

:(

use strict;
use warnings;

open (FIN, "time.txt")|| die "Cannot Open the input file : $!";
read FIN, my $file, -s FIN;
close (FIN);

$file=~s/(\d+)-(\d+)-(\d+)/$1*3600 + $2*60 + $3/ge;

open (FOUT, ">Out_time.txt") || die "Cannot create the output file : $!";
print FOUT $file;
close (FOUT);

this code highlighting in pink color as i mentioned as bold

open (FOUT, ">Out_time.txt") || die "Cannot create the output file : $!";

The updated contents are having the 'Out_time.txt' file. Check the file. if you want to update the contents in the same file, change the file filename in the code.
