Read the error carefully, it may have been giving you a line number in the Time::Local module in your script, and it will tell you that. Often you will get the line in the module that had the error as well as the line number in your script that called the subroutine in the module.
As for tracking down errors you might also find "use diagnostics" helpful. And as far as getting the line numbers printed on your script you might want to use an editor that shows the line numbers (emacs, InterDev, Komodo, HomeSite, etc). Does that answer your question?

Would keep me from asking too many "really basic" question like the next one. Question 2: Is there a way to get line numbers printed on a script? For short scripts, compiler error messages for "Line n" aren't too hard too find, but as script becomes larger, becomes onerous. And, just had an instance of an error with a line number about 50 lines beyond my 46 line script (Am guessing that's because of some of the "use xxx" entries, but prior to my including "use Time::Local;", didn't have that kind of mis-match.
