Are you sure that's not just because it doesn't print a trailing newline and your shell overwrites the output? Zsh does this: ben@magnesium:~$ perl -e 'print scalar gmtime' ben@magnesium:~$ perl -e 'print scalar gmtime, "\n"' Mon Jul 3 20:12:39 2000 ben@magnesium:~$=20 > My ISP looks to be running a very old version of FreeBSD: 2.2.6, dated > Sept 6 1981. 1981? Are you sure? Where did you get that date from? The simplest thing for your ISP to do would be to update at least to 2.2-STABLE, as some Y2K bugs might have been fixed there. If not, they'll have to get debugging, or just upgrade to 3- or 4-STABLE. --=20 Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D --zVyz+SkbhTrRQGHt Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use MessageID: SMLCffD5/Xtfx9CDfWlS3OT6pd4/Tejq iQCVAwUBOWD0uCsPVtiZOS99AQFqpwQAhOkqmNesSszfi//Eq3qPXCKDtnN9RZ0J VBmB+MZT2JH+J9NHRPmLzMXr4FYbPr/9xWF0HMFz3pjZ8pgrEudBnFCWc00qEhxS rovq00mnVMe1RrRw+vUqcYrVWMQYWh0b+n2T5NkP8ctFipugjbtrhbVgMoa2RljG BJwbdqy2tx0= =BVCE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --zVyz+SkbhTrRQGHt-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
