Of course, I meant b1.  Brain fry.  Anyway, the following should I think)
but does not work under MacPerl 5.1.4b1:

print localtime(time - 1);

It does work under UNIX perl5.003 (and up).

As Paul said, CGI.pm works fine under MacPerl.  Might have to change
something.  Agreed on CPAN.  Might be able to get SOME of the functionality
out of it, but the main purpose -- to install stuff manually -- would be
tough for some things, impossible for others.

Well, all of them.  New pages are missing (perlfaq[1-9], perldelta, etc.)
and the ones that are there are old ones.


BTW, with MacPerl 5.1.4b1 running on MacOS 8, AppleEvents.pm seems fine.  :-)
