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 :-)
