How would I find the month and year from something with a datestamp of
1078801582? (The day does not matter)

perldoc -f localtime
perldoc -f gmtime

Next time, post to comp.lang.perl.misc instead. This group is defunct.

Is this from the Romulan or the Klingon calendar?

You want localtime() in list context. Be mindfull of $month+1 and $year+1900.

Using localtime() in scalar context is also handy:
perl -le 'print scalar localtime 1078801582'

-Joe

$MYTIMESTAMP = "1095967319";

($ss,$mi,$hh,$dd,$mm,$yy ,$wday,$ddd ,$isdst) = localtime($MYTIMESTAMP);
$yy+=1900;
$mm+=1;
$mm = substr("0".$mm,-2,2);
$dd = substr("0".$dd,-2,2);
$hh = substr("0".$hh,-2,2);
$mi = substr("0".$mi,-2,2);
$ss = substr("0".$ss,-2,2);
print "$yy-$mm-$dd $hh:$mi:$ss";

What kind of grudge do you have against the sprintf() function?
