[MacPerl] problem using localtime in macperl 5.x

[Fergus McMenemie <fergus@twig.demon.co.uk>]

Hello,


        The following fragment seems to run fine on my Sun workstation
        running perl 4.x or 5.x. It used to work nicely under macperl
        4.x. However with perl 5.1.1r2 it fails. ($time=-1). Am I missing
        something or is this a bug in the mac version of perl?

#! /usr/local/bin/perl
require "timelocal.pl";

        # first set through the days of the year
        $time=&timelocal(0,0,0,1,0,97);
        ($sec,$min,$hr,$dd,$mm,$yy,$wday,$yday,$dlst)=localtime($time);

        print "$time\n";
        print "$sec,$min,$hr,$dd,$mm,$yy,$wday,$yday,$dlst\n";
