My apologies, you specifically said that you thought the problem was
in the base62_to_decimal sub, so that's what I tested.

You need to modify the gmt function so that it strips everything after
the first dash, like I did with my test program. Look how it works
below:

Getting rid of all that extra stuff is what makes it work.
