SPUG: File dates

[Daniel V. Ebert]

I have used the stats FILEHANDLE command to extract the "last modified" time  
of a file.

($dev, $ino, $mode, $nlink, $uid, $gid, $rdev, $size, $atime, $mtime,  
$ctime, $blksize, $blocks) = stat FILEHANDLE;

This returns the time in a numrical format: 946568470
I'm guessing that this is the number of seconds since the epoch ... is there  
an easy way to translate that into a calendar date?  Or is there a different  
command that would return the modify time in a different format?

Thanks in advance,
