Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Perl - Was unix time conversion function
I think it's like almost any subjective idea: it's beautiful if you love
it, heinous if you hate it.
I love Perl; it does what I mean. The only thing I really don't like about Perl 5 is its yucky way of supporting complex data structures. I'm eager to have some spare time someday to study the Perl 6 spec in more detail.

Cary.... I once thought I wanted to do some Perl coding... So I bought a book and started to play with it. It made my head bleed... literally I had little droplets of blood emerging from my head.... They rushed me to the hospital and put me in the Perl ward where I languished for days on IV's of Mountain Dew and pulverized Ritz crackers..... it was close.
In my mind there is nothing obvious about Perl, this coming from and old C coder who did pointers and linked lists in his sleep years ago. I don't know, maybe I was having a bad day and it's time to get my "learning Perl" book out again....
Anyone else feel that way about Perl or am I a lone wolf in a Perl world?

At the risk of stating the obvious, doing it in Perl looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Date::Format qw(time2str);
my $t = 1043447100; # for example
print time2str("%T %A %d %B %Y", $t), "\n";

Kinda...you can change the year to 1970 if you want, this also converts to minutes, not seconds. It is a really ugly function but it seems to work. You could always use perl.
function f_minutes {
# Funky function I use to calculate the number of minutes since 2000
MIN_YEAR=$( date +"%Y" )
MIN_YEAR=$( expr ${MIN_YEAR} - 2000 )
MIN_YEAR=$( expr ${MIN_YEAR} \* 525600 )
MIN_DAYS=$( date +"%j" )
MIN_DAYS=$( expr "${MIN_DAYS}" - 1 )
MIN_DAYS=$( expr "${MIN_DAYS}" \* 1440 )
MIN_HOURS=$( date +"%H" )
MIN_HOURS=$( expr "${MIN_HOURS}" \* 60 )
MIN_MINS=$( date +"%M" )
MIN_TOTAL=$(( ${MIN_YEAR} + ${MIN_DAYS} + ${MIN_HOURS} + ${MIN_MINS}
))
print ${MIN_TOTAL}
}

Anybody got a handy little function to
convert a standard unix seconds-since-Jan-1970 epoch
time (stored as a number) to a readable date?
It would save me a lot of time not having to re-invent the wheel.
