in reply to Convert epoch seconds to date

That's what the localtime function does. Pass it a number of epoch seconds and it'll return an array of values that you can use to build a human-readable date.

Or, even easier, use localtime in conjunction with the POSIX::strftime function.

use POSIX 'strftime';

my $epoch = 985015768;

print strftime('%d/%m/%Y', localtime($epoch));

    ty dave, works for me:-) 
        use POSIX 'strftime';
        $epoch = $escrowClose_e;
        $epoch_o = $escrowOpen_e;

        $redate = strftime('%m/%d/%Y', localtime($epoch));
        $opendate = strftime('%m/%d/%Y|%H:%M', localtime($epoch_o));
