Subject: the year range 100..999 ends at ..137
Hi! Time::Local has the classic unix timestamp overflow problem - using the year 2038 (138) makes it croak: rhonda@edna:~$ perl -MTime::Local -e 'timelocal(0,0,0,1,1,2038-1900)' Day too big - 24868 > 24853 Cannot handle date (0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2038) at -e line 1 rhonda@edna:~$ perl -MTime::Local -e 'timelocal(0,0,0,1,1,2037-1900)' rhonda@edna:~$ It would be nice if that could get fixed way ahead of time. ;) Rhonda

This is sort of fixed in the latest release, but if you need something more sane and consistent, check out Time::y2038.

Thanks for fixing it (haven't tested yet but am taking your word for it). About checking out Time::y2038, that would be an external module and when possible I like to stick with core modules. :) So long! Rhonda

Err, if you're downloading Time::Local from CPAN, it's no longer a core module. Might as well download Time::y2038 from CPAN anyway. But please don't respond to this ticket, as doing so re-opens it. -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/
