Algorithm to determine time given a number of ms

Does anyone know an algorithm that takes the number of ms starting from January 1, 1980?

For example, given 5,000,001 milliseconds since 01/01/1980, what date/time does that translate to in the format MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS.msec?

It seems like there should be a mathematical formula, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Edit: btw, I'm trying to do this in Perl.
 
Divide the value by 1000 to get seconds, and i'm sure you can find some code to convert that into MM/DD/YYY HH:MM:SS format 🙂


Confused
 
/1000 and use the standard time functions for seconds? (then mod 1000 for the last bit)

(edit) several milliseconds too slow 🙂
 
You could use the UNIX epoch and add ten years of milliseconds to your time. There are many algoriths out there that will do that.


I have no idea if this will work, but it might.

Looked good to me, but I have no use for it 🙂 -- a little impolite of AgentEL
