Re: How can I convert epoch seconds to date format

Use the strftime function from POSIX.pm.

use POSIX 'strftime';

my $date = strftime '%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S', localtime $epoch;

p.s. I corrected your illogical US date format to something more sensible :)

Or you could use the user's time settings to decide the order of year, month and day: `use POSIX 'strftime'; my $date = strftime '%c', localtime $epoch` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Some of the 'aggregate' specifiers don't work on all platforms (yes windows I'm loooking at you) unfortunately. /J\	[reply]

Maybe, but that particular one does work on Windows, at least in the ActiveState build. So do %x and %X. The order of the date/time components in the returned string when using those specifiers is dictated by the preferences set in "Regional Settings".	[reply]
