I think its like almost any subjective
idea: its beautiful if you love it, heinous if you hate it.
I love Perl; it does what I mean. The only
thing I really dont like about Perl 5 is its yucky way of supporting complex
data structures. Im eager
about Perl or am I a lone wolf in a Perl
world?

Are you sure? It's written in C and is supposed to be relatively portable. I've not tried it on other platforms but, in addition to HP-UX and AIX, Python runs on: AS/400; Solaris; OS/2; Amiga; AROS; BeOS; PalmOS; QNX; VMS; VxWorks; Sony

Anybody got a handy little function to
convert a standard unix seconds-since-Jan-1970 epoch
time (stored as a number) to a readable date?
It would save me a lot of time not having to re-invent the

Kinda...you can change the year to 1970 if you want, this also converts
to minutes, not seconds. It is a really ugly function but it seems to
work. You could always use perl.

the number of minutes
