I'm writing scripts which make heavy use of the timelocal() fct.
(Time::Local) to get epochtime from a MM/DD hh:mm:ss text date. I'm
using activestate perl 5.8.4 build 810 on my pc. I've found one date,
among the 10,000's I've successfully transformed, is offset by 3600
sec. The 3600 (=1 hour) struck me as not likely a conincidence. I'm
wondering if others have seen this before.
syntax:
use Time::Local
$epochTime = timelocal($sec, $min, $hour, $day, $month - 1);
Anyone seen instances in which a date, seemingly at random, has 3600
added or subtracted from the correct output of timelocal?
thanks
