That listing snippet I found indicates that the UTC value is what is used to represent times in HFS file metadata. Perl's use of UNIX timing offers localtime and gmtime implying that the choice of local or UTC is up to the current user. HFS+ volumes will use UTC. Now when you pass an HFS+ file to a UNIX server with FTP or scp. . . . . ???

I still prefer Microbesoft's decision to use floats for time. The cosmologists can have limits they like with a bit less precision and the particle and optical physicists can talk in femtoseconds using the same time type.
