am trying to print current time and date. this works fine except @t = ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time); printf "%d:%d:%d:%d:%d:%d:%d:%d:%d:\n\n", @t; -----------it returns 35:45:19:16:1:96:5:46:0: that's January for the month. I checked my control panels and I'm in February alright. anybody know what gives? janis
