You want to convert epoch into readable date and time.

Maybe you have a log file, which is pumping out lines prefixed with the epoch?

We use the perl function localtime to convert epoch into a date and time.

At the example tab is the code to convert that epoch, into a recognizable date and time.

localtime, can also return an array - take a look at the reference tag for more info.
