-10? 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).
