Hello monks!

I'm seeking some instruction as I am learning the ins and outs of perl. I have a device that records information in microseconds using a epoch like format. I would like to be able to display the date time stamp like this : Thu Jun 10 18:15:34.155029 2010.

my record is formatted as : 1276218934.155029

my current approach is : printf OUT1 scalar(localtime($ep_time));

I know that there must be an easy way to convert this to a readable format, similar to what I referenced above.

thank you for your help and guidance.
