How do I print the modification time of the template or component?

The ‘template’ and ‘component’ variables reference the main template and the current template being processed (see previous questions). The ‘modtime’ method returns the modification time of the corresponding template file as a number of seconds since the Unix epoch (00:00:00 GMT 1st January 1970). This number doesn’t mean much to anyone (except perhaps serious Unix geeks) so you’ll probably want to use the Date plugin to format it for human consumption.
