It's common practice on this site to make any significant edits to your node clear (for instance, by starting new paragraphs with " update:" or striking out outdated lines. That way you won't make the people who replied to the first version of the post look like idiots :-)
Anyway, since you seem to want to convert standard Unix time - seconds since 0:00 1/1/1970 - to MJD - fractional number of days since 0:00 November 17, 1858 - correct me if I'm wrong here - try this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use DateTime::Format::Epoch::MJD;
use DateTime::Format::Epoch::Unix;
print DateTime::Format::Epoch::MJD->format_datetime( DateTime::Format:
+:Epoch::Unix->parse_datetime( time ) );
Note that the time function returns the current unix date on all systems I know of except Mac OS classic.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
