When I run the below code it works, but the epoch date prints in scientific notation. Is there a way I can force this to print in regular notation? I guess I could use a regex but there should be a way just to print something the correct way, no? <-----output> >datetime.pl 19980323165814 +890672294E+0 <-------- how do I get 890672294 instead of this? 1998 > <-------code> #!/usr/rand/bin/perl -w use DateTime::Precise; use DateTime::Precise qw (:TimeVars); $t1 = DateTime::Precise->new; $t1->set_from_datetime('1998.03.23 16:58:14'); print "$t1\n"; #this line gives unexpected output: print $t1->unix_seconds_since_epoch; print "\n"; print $t1->year; print "\n"; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
