Assuming from your description that you are talking about FILETIME structs, you could do it like this.

#! perl -slw use strict; use Win32API::File qw[ FdGetOsFHandle ]; use Win32::API::Prototype; ApiLink( 'kernel32', 'BOOL FileTimeToSystemTime( LPFILETIME lpFileTime, LPSYSTEMTIME lpSystemTime )' ) or die $^E; ApiLink( 'kernel32', 'BOOL GetFileTime( HANDLE hFile, LPFILETIME lpCreationTime, LPFILETIME lpLastAccessTime, LPFILETIME lpLastWriteTime )' ) or die $^E; ## Get an OSfilehandle for the curent script my $osfh = FdGetOsFHandle( fileno( DATA ) ) or die $!; ## 3 x quadword buffers for the FILETIME structs my( $ctime, $atime, $wtime ) = ( chr(0) x 8 ) x 3; ## Get them GetFileTime( $osfh, $ctime, $atime, $wtime ) or die $^E; ## 8 word buffer for the SYSTEMTIME struct my $systime = chr( 0 ) x 16; for( $ctime, $atime, $wtime ) { ##Convert the FILETIMEs to SYTEMTIMEs FileTimeToSystemTime( $_, $systime ) or die $^E; printf "Year: %4d Month: %2d DOW: %1d Day: %2d Hour: %2d Minutes: +%2d Seconds: %2d Milliseconds: %3d\n", unpack 'v8', $systime; } __DATA__ P:\test>368002 Year: 2004 Month: 6 DOW: 5 Day: 18 Hour: 17 Minutes: 47 Seconds: 5 M +illiseconds: 283 Year: 2004 Month: 6 DOW: 5 Day: 18 Hour: 18 Minutes: 7 Seconds: 38 M +illiseconds: 689 Year: 2004 Month: 6 DOW: 5 Day: 18 Hour: 18 Minutes: 7 Seconds: 37 M +illiseconds: 1
