Not it doesn't. `->last_modified` returns epoch time (as returned by `time`). `>perl -MLWP -E"say LWP::UserAgent->new->get('http://www.perlmonks.org' +)->last_modified" 1253197990` [download] You can format the result by using `localtime` or `gmtime` with POSIX's `strftime`. Alternatively, every date module out there accepts epoch time as an input.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
