These routines are the inverse of built-in perl functions localtime()
and gmtime(). They accept a date as a six-element array, and return
the corresponding time(2) value in seconds since the system epoch
(Midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC on Unix, for example). This value can
be positive or negative, though POSIX only requires support for
positive values, so dates before the system's epoch may not work on
all operating systems.
