Epoch & Unix Timestamp in Perl
Get the current epoch timestamp
my $epoch_seconds = time(); Convert epoch to date
my @utc = gmtime(1718200000);
my $str = scalar gmtime(1718200000); Convert date to epoch
use Time::Local qw(timegm);
my $epoch = timegm(0, 0, 0, 12, 5, 2026); Perl notes
timegm takes (sec, min, hour, mday, month, year) with a 0-based month — June is 5. Time::HiRes provides sub-second precision.
Check any value live with the epoch converter, or read what Unix time actually counts.
