Hi David,

You might check the archives as I think I posted a patch for this at one
point.

But there's a few things you can do.

One, you could parse the data in swishlastmodified in either the
module/TemplateToolkit.pm or by creating a Template::Plugin to do that.

Or in swish.cgi you could modify: (untested)

$self->swish_command( -x => join( '\t', map { "<$_>" } @properties ) . '\n' );

and add an additional map { $_ eq swishlastmodified ? qq[$_ fmt="%ld"] : $_ }

which would return a unix timestamp and then you can format with Template
Toolkit in your template.

Does that help?
