Am I misunderstanding something fundamental about perl's > localtime() call, or should this be an "11"? 10 is correct.. yeah i thought it was irish , when i came across it as well...but.. localtime EXPR Converts a time as returned by the time function to a 9-element array with the time analyzed for the local timezone. Typically used as follows: ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time); All array elements are numeric, and come straight out of a struct tm. In particular this means that $mon has the range 0..11 and $wday has the range ^^^^^ 0..6. If EXPR is omitted, does localtime(time). Peter
