They are the number of seconds since Jan 1 1904, the Mac beginning of time.
You should be able to just use localtime() to convert them, but
unfortunately, you run into some Perl 5.002 integer bugs.  If you just
print them, you'll notice that they're interpreted as signed ints rather
than unsigned ints, as they should be.   Here's hoping that they work
correctly in Matthias' 5.004 port.

You can get around the problem by using pack and unpack:

#!perl

use Mac::Files;

$file = "The Black Pits:Desktop Folder:Clippings";
$has = FSpGetCatInfo($file);

$creation = pack("N",$has->{ioFlCrDat});
$modified = pack("N",$has->{ioFlMdDat});
$temp = unpack("N",$creation);
$temp2 = unpack("N",$modified);
print "$temp, $temp2\n";
($sec1,$min1,$hour1,$mday1,$mon1,$year1) = localtime($temp);
$mon1++;
($sec2,$min2,$hour2,$mday2,$mon2,$year2) = localtime($temp2);
$mon2++;
#
#using the God given, proper way to write dates :-)
#
print "I was created on $mon1/$mday1/$year1 at $hour1:$min1:$sec1\n";
print "and last modified on $mon2/$mday2/$year2 at $hour2:$min2:$sec2\n";

}
}
}Adrian
}
}
}
