...or it's faster cousin Text::CSV_XS which, IIRC, installs without problems. In fact, I'm using that module (and a few others) in a program that reads ECP TLC files and renders them into web graphs. I haven't published it because IMHO it's not really fit for general use.

I used POSIX::mktime (after parsing the VMS ASCII timestamp with a regex) to convert into seconds since the epoch. And ordinary localtime and printf for the reverse.
