You're cheating "date", as Sergei stated... > # date -d "1970-01-01 1117634400 sec GMT" > Wed Jun 1 16:00:00 CEST 2005 > # date -d "1970-01-01 1117634400 sec WET" > Wed Jun 1 16:00:00 CEST 2005 One way not to cheat with date : $ perl -e 'print scalar(localtime(1117634400)),"\n"' Wed Jun 1 16:00:00 2005 $ perl -e 'print scalar(gmtime(1117634400)),"\n"' Wed Jun 1 14:00:00 2005 localtime() in perl does not take timezone into account at all. Whereas gmtime() uses the local timezone to convert the result in GMT. -- NH
