Aaaaaggggrrrrrr. Ever heard about the Y2K bu?
DO NOT USE "20%y". EVER !!!
(Yes it'll be more than 97 years before this code will go wrong, but
suppose you were printing some dates in the future.)
Use "%Y" instead !!!
Besides you have the format of the date wrong. Try
$date = strftime "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M", localtime;
plus you should include your difference against GMT.
(Which happens to be "-0000" in your case.)

There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere.
It's just that in the mess on my table ... and in my brain
I can't find it.
