Hi,
I trying to convert epoch seconds to D/M/Y H:M:S.s format. I am passing epoch seconds as an argument to perl file.
Inside perl file, the code looks like this:
my $epoch = $ARGV[0];
open(OUT, “>c:/dateResultFile.txt”);
my $str = “date -d ’1970-01-01 $epoch sec’” ;
print OUT “$str\n”;
close(OUT);
when i executed this code, i am getting i am not getting the date as i expected.
Please suggest me the solution.

$ date +%s -d”Jan 1, 1980 00:00:01″
date: 0551-402 Invalid character in date/time specification.
Usage: date [-u] [+"Field Descriptors"]
System used is AIX…this doesn’t work
