have you bothered to read the read the tcl command documentation of clock scan?

read date closely, because the shown string is not "standard compliant".
tip: you can string map the month to the 3 char representation, like {-08- -Aug-}.

tcl: evaluate (.tcl): clock scan 23-08-2005
Tcl error: unable to convert date-time string "23-08-2005"
tcl: evaluate (.tcl): clock scan 23-Aug-2005
Tcl: 1124751600
