Is there a simple way to convert a Mac date into an integer that can be used as the -r parameter in the UNIX "date" command?

set d to (current date) as string
set r to (do shell script "echo 'puts [clock scan {" & d & "}]' | tclsh")
do shell script "date -r " & r


The 'clock scan …' command can handle all normal types of date formats but I'm not sure if it works with languages other than English.
