Sorry, my misunderstanding ...
localtime() and gmtime() will convert a Unix timestamp to hours, minutes,
seconds etc, which is exactly what strftime needs:
[johnc@dropbear ~]$ perl -e 'use POSIX; print strftime("%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y",
localtime(980596729)), "\n"'

Another way, if you merely want the time formatted like that and don't
want a custom format, is to use the output of localtime() or gmtime()
in a scalar context:
[johnc@dropbear ~]$ perl -e 'print scalar(localtime(980596729)),"\n"'
