Hi, I believe that I have found a bug in MacPERL 5.1.0. The following code snippet works fine under 5.0.7, but returns -1's in 5.1.0. --- #!/usr/bin/perl require 'timelocal.pl'; $Time = time; $LocalTime = timelocal( localtime( $Time ) ); $GMTime = timegm( gmtime( $Time ) ); print "Time : $Time\n"; print "LocalTime: $LocalTime\n"; print "GMTime : $GMTime\n"; --- Thanks, -Frank --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frank J.
