I didn't make it up as such... It is perfectly correct but for the year..... It is a Y2K problem........ If I set the Year from 98 to 1998 it works perfectly......... Perl localtime returns only a 2 digit year if used in an array context...... But it returns a 4 digit year if used in a scalar context......... Sorry to bother you...... (Still trying to get something reproducable for the connection problem) CU Sven
