Subject:

Bug in epoch() method

Return value from epoch() method is incorrect for many+varied years due to Time::Local's year parsing. Try converting the MacOS epoch from a DateTime object to an epoch time and back again, for example. Cheers, Nick

Okay, apparently this was just a problem in how Time::Local was being used. Nick, it seems from your messages like you knew what the problem was. In the future, if you do know, you should just tell the developers (and conversely, if you don't know say that too).
