Well if I want to know who was where at what time I use perl to convert timestamps from epoch to 'human' or unix time ;-)
cat /access.log path | perl -l -a -n -e '$F[0] = scalar localtime $F[0]; print "@F"'
Here is a shorter version, and which also preserves the millisecond field and alignment:
perl -pe 's/(\d+)/localtime($1)/e' access.log
-p loop over the input file(s)
-e execute following statement
s/ substitute
(\d+) pattern matching sequence of digits
localtime($1)
substitution. $1 refers to first () in the pattern/e substitution is an expression
