I usually use somethinge like the following little function for getting an ISO timestamp. The
result is suitable for a PostgreSQL timestamp field (without special timezone).
# Subroutine for ISO-Timestamp
sub mydatetime { my ($time)=@_; my ($sec,$min,$hou,$mday,$mon,$yea,$wday,$jday,$sz)=localtime($time); if
($sec< 10) {$sec="0".$sec;} if ($min < 10) {$min="0".$min;} if ($hou < 10) {$hou="0".$hou;} if ($mday < 10)
{$mday="0".$mday;} $mon++; if ($mon < 10) {$mon="0".$mon;} $yea=$yea+1900; my $t=$yea."-".$mon."-".$mday."
".$hou.":".$min.":".$sec; return $t; }
