my ($year,$month,$wday,$day,$hour,$minute,$second,$msecond)= getTime (time);

The parameter to getTime should be $time not time (don't you hate typos - I do). This would explain why you get a different "$time" every "time"...

Update: BTW, when I run the code with the 64 bit number you are using, I get 6413 2002 as the year.

my $ft = pack "LL", 0x89f625f0,0x01c21315;
printtime $ft;
