in thread unix epoch date

Yer, I've been working through that today, however I can't work out how I can translate 12272 as being today, if I user localtime I make today 1062975600 !!!

    A day is 24 hours with 60 minutes with 60 seconds each. 
    perl -le 'print time() / (24*60*60)'

    Alternatively, 
    perl -le 'print scalar localtime( 12272 * 24*60*60 )'
perl -le 'print scalar gmtime( 12272 * 24*60*60 )'
