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make any significant edits to your node clear (for instance, by starting new paragraphs with "update:" or striking out outdated lines.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.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
