Am I misunderstanding something fundamental about perl's -localtime() call, or should this be an "11"? 10 is correct. Both monthnames and daynames are zero-based (0..11,0..6) in perl. They can be used as offsets in a arry holding month/daynames that way (well, that's th excuse from the camel book). ciao lutz --------------------------------------------------------------------- Lutz Albers | What's good ?
