strftime is actually available in both C and Perl (it's part of the POSIX module, and all IEEE Std 1003.1-1990 compliant languages[1] have to support it). I'd meant to send a note in response to Robert's message, but I wanted to actually have the actual strftime code worked out and tested; other things (work) prevented me from doing so.
Ed [1] POSIX was drafted as a standard for C programming languages. However, a number of C-descended languages have opted to retain POSIX compliance (such as Perl), and I've heard some people say that a few languages have opted to gain POSIX compliance, though they weren't C. I wouldn't know what those languages are, however.
