You can use Date::Manip for that. Simply use `$date = &ParseDateString("epoch $secs"); print UnixDate($date,"%d/%m/%y %H:%M:%S");` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Is there a module, maybe I just can't find it, that does this little conversion ? perldoc -f localtime Here's an application of the doco for you: `my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time); my $date=sprintf("%0.2d/%0.2d/%0.2d %0.2d:%0.2d:%0.2d", $mon+1,$mday,($year-100), $hour,$min,$sec);` [download] Should work both on nix and doze.

`POSIX::strftime` is a quick and easy way to do this sort of thing. Despite its name, it seems to work fine on my Windows copy of ActiveState Perl. It can be used in conjunction with `localtime`: `perl -MPOSIX -e"print strftime('%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S', localtime(10823928 +15));" 04/19/04 12:40:15` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The following is a starting point: `print scalar localtime 1082392815, "\n";` [download] Look into what can be done with the return values of localtime.	[reply] [d/l]

Another option would be to use the Time::Piece module. It replaces the built in localtime function with an object based method. You could then do something like this: `use Time::Piece; my $t = localtime($epoch); print $t->strftime("%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S");` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

What's wrong with the built-in function localtime?	[reply]

Perhaps a look at Q&A would help?	[reply]
