The gmtime() method takes a Unix epoch time (seconds since Jan 1 1970) and
returns a structure that tells you what the date, time of day, day of week and
day of year were at that time in UTC. The java.util.Date class would be a good
place to start (although beware, it deals in *milliseconds*, not seconds).
If you're porting Perl to Java, you might want to familiarize yourself with
"perldoc", for example:
perldoc -f gmtime
Oh, and I'm sorry.

Hi
Is there any equalent of gmtime() method in java.
This is the background. I am working on a porting project, we have a legacy
product which uses perl extensivly. We are converting it to java.
Problem I am facing is, we are setting date filed using the perl method
gmtime() in Local.pm, Now I want to do the same thing in java but am unable
to figure out what this method is doing. I am not very good in perl.
Question: Is there any prebuilt java library which does the same thing as
gmtime(), or is it possible to explain what this method is doing, so I can
replicate the same in java.
thanks and regards
R Shamanth
