Hi,
Your module is failing because it parses the data from "sysctl
kern.boottime" without taking into account the timezone configuration.
Adding...
local $ENV{TZ} = 'UTC';
before the sysctl call seems to solve the problem.
A better option would probably be to use something similar to
BSD::Sysctl that wraps the kernel sysctl API in Perl (though currently,
BSD::Sysctl seems to support FreeBSD only).
