To: bug-Time-Local [...] rt.cpan.org
From: David Zokaites <david.zokaites [...] carsforsale.com>
Dear Sir or Madam, I was quite surprised to find errors in timelocal(). Please see the attached small Perl program which illustrates the problem. I reproduced the error on 3 versions of Perl running on two different machines: ActiveState This is perl 5, version 16, subversion 3 (v5.16.3) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread Cygwin This is perl 5, version 14, subversion 4 (v5.14.4) built for cygwin-thread-multi MacOS This is perl, v5.10.1 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level Sincerely, David PS Thanks for supporting Perl and timelocal()! Without volunteers like yourself, nothing in the world would happen. -- *David Zokaites *| IT 605-251-0691 *Carsforsale.com**®* *Dealer Support:* 866-388-9778 Support Hours: Mon-Fri 8:30am-5:30pm | Sat 9:00am-3:00pm CST

The localtime() function is a builtin provided by Perl. That said, I don't think it has any bugs. I suspect what you're seeing is the result of DST transition in your local time zone. Try using gmtime() and seeing what happens.
