For those who have access to a Linux command line with Perl installed you
can do the conversion in this oneliner:
Just insert the first 8 digits of your order number (with the dash removed)
instead of the example of 22084064. E.g. if your order number was
2209-4362-1234 you would use 22094362.
Then run:
perl -e 'use POSIX qw(strftime); print strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %T %z\n",
gmtime(22084064*60));'
The output will be in UTC and look like this:
