That sort of work is precisely why I do it in Perl. Because
then you start getting into messiness with leap years,
timezones, etc., etc., etc. There's a reason that time

for you; be lazy.
What do leap years have to do with it? Leap *seconds*, maybe, but I'm
willing to be off on the count of days by a few seconds. If timezones
are a real problem, you can always specify the timezone after the
year. date has done all the work for you.
Thanks stephen and michael! The suggestions are great. The one-liner is
bulls-eye, michael. Guess i'll go with it.
