# Convert it UNIX epoch seconds (a Perl "time" value):
my $time = timestamp_to_time($status->{created_at});
# Or a Perl localtime:
my $utc = timestamp_to_timepiece($status->{created_at});
# Or a Perl gmtime:
my $utc = timestamp_to_gmtime($status->{created_at});
# Check to see if an exception is a Twitter::API::Error
if ( is_twitter_api_error($@) ) {
