the haskell 98 time library is horribly broken, if you are using ghc,
you can deconstruct the time constructor which has an Integer containing
the number of seconds since epoch... otherwise you can use
epoch :: ClockTime
epoch = toClockTime $ CalendarTime { ctYear = 1970, ctMonth = January,
ctDay

I am looking for a simple way to get the current days sincethe epoch. Most
language's standard time library have a get-seconds function that returns
the number of seconds since the epoch, thus the function is for example
in scheme:
(define (days-since-epoch)
((get-seconds) / (* 60 60 24)))
But
I have made a haskell module for HMM (hidden markov models) demonstration.
If somebody is interested, you can find it at

Not meant for production code, there are better implementations. (Hal?)
There's also a module for maintaining demo and development vers
