Thats not the problem
heres an example...
#!/usr/bin/perl
use POSIX;
print strftime "%d","980596729";
........
980596729 is the value give when i go
select UNIX_TIMESTAMP(time) from database.........
i get this error
Usage: POSIX::strftime(fmt, sec, min, hour, mday, mon, year, wday = -1,
yday = -1, isdst = -1) at ./test.pl line 7.
which is because the number given to strftime should be like
1910103101013301
select time from database....
(time is a timestamp)
gives a number
YYYYMMDDHHMMSS eg 20011010101010
im happy to get either to a format strftime can understand
