You're missing the fact that $mon (the fifth parameter) is 0-based per the
man page:
the local timezone. Typically used as follows:
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) =
localtime(time);
All array elements are numeric, and come straight
out of a struct tm. In particular this means that
$mon has the range 0..11 and $wday has the range
So 10 == 11 :-)
