Take a look at Time::Local, which has timelocal() and timegm() functions: http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/module/Time::Local
On MacOS X, timelocal() fails if you give it a date before December 17, 1901. I don't know what's special about that date.
% ./timetest.pl 1901 12 16 Cannot handle date (0, 0, 0, 16, 11, 1901) at ./timetest.pl line 4
% ./timetest.pl 1901 12 17 -2147194800
This is getting very close to: #define INT_MIN (-2147483647 - 1) /* minimum (signed) int value */
It's different by about 3 days, so that's probably to keep it a "safe" distance away from the minimum value and wrapping around.
