Egad, and there is a big NOTE in perldoc Date::Manip about that very
thing... thanks for you patience
For anyone finding these posts with a search:
(From perldoc Date::Manip)
NOTE: One of the most frequently asked questions that I
have gotten is how to parse seconds since the epoch.
ParseDateString
cannot simply parse a number as the seconds since the epoch
(it conflicts with some ISO-8601 date formats). There are
two ways
to get this information. First, you can do the following:
$secs = ... # seconds since Jan 1, 1970
00:00:00 GMT
$date = DateCalc("Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT","+
$secs");
Second, you can call it directly as:
$date = ParseDateString("epoch $secs");
