Microsoft stores Excel dates as the number of days since January 0, 1900 (yes, Jan 0).
Humans think of it as December 31 1899. This is the Epoch for MS Excel.
Those numbers are days since the start of the Epoch date. Most UNIXes use Jan 1, 1970.

DateTime::Format::MySQL(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation DateTime::Format::MySQL(3pm)NAME
DateTime::Format::MySQL - Parse and format MySQL dates and times
SYNOPSIS
use DateTime::Format::MySQL;
my $dt = DateTime::Format::MySQL->parse_datetime( '2003-01-16 23:12:01' );
# 2003-01-16 23:12:01
DateTime::Format::MySQL->format_datetime($dt);
DESCRIPTION
This module understands the formats used by MySQL for its DATE, DATETIME, TIME, and TIMESTAMP data types. It can be used to parse these
formats in order to create DateTime objects, and it can take a DateTime object and produce a string representing it in the MySQL format.
METHODS
This class offers the following methods. All of the parsing methods set the returned DateTime object's time zone to the floating time
zone, because MySQL does not provide time zone information.
* parse_datetime($string)
* parse_date($string)
* parse_timestamp($string)
Given a value of the appropriate type, this method will return a new "DateTime" object. The time zone for this object will always be
the floating time zone, because by MySQL stores the local datetime, not UTC.
If given an improperly formatted string, this method may die.
* format_date($datetime)
* format_time($datetime)
* format_datetime($datetime)
Given a "DateTime" object, this methods returns an appropriately formatted string.
SUPPORT
Support for this module is provided via the datetime@perl.org email list. See http://lists.perl.org/ for more details.
