[rt-devel] Date in Unix format

[arclight at jump.net]

Hi,

FWIW, I prefer

use POSIX qw(strftime);
my $nicedate = strftime("%d/%m/%Y", localtime($unixtime));
# or
$nicedate = POSIX::strftime("%d/%m/%Y", localtime($unixtime));

Advantage: uses core perl; no need to install extra modules 
(important if you can't modify your local perl installation, for 
whatever reason). Aside: I also like POSIX::tmpnam() vs some 
unholy amalgam of $$ and time() if only because I can blame a 
standards committee (or Sun) if my code blows up...

Date::Manip is a weighty sledgehammer but very nice if you're not 
converting, say, a million timestamps from webserver logs :)

TMTOWTDI,
