Re: Newbie alert, why this does not work

Hi,

you can also use various Data and Time related perl modules to get a nicer 
formatting, for
example:

<%
use Date::Format;
use Date::Language::German;
my $lang = Date::Language::German->new;
print $lang->time2str("%a %b %e %T %Y\n", time);;
print "\n";
%>
displays:

Mit Okt  1 21:47:42 2003

(for example)

(In Apache::ASP you can call "print" instead of "$Response->Write()")

Other Date / Time modules would be: Date::Calc, Date::Manip

provide another hint to at least get me over the edge?

Apache::ASP "uses" the built-in perl functions, plus extends them
with
some objects/events/etc. The later group is discussed at the
www.apache-asp.org page, while docs on the former you should find
at
www.perldoc.com. I'd recommend reading
http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/pod/perlfunc.html
Here you will also find localtime and time (and will probably
understand
why you got that big number :-)).
