Localtime takes it's input either from the time() function if you call it without parameters, or from a timestamp you supply. So, if I wanted the current date and time, but 10 minutes into the future I'd do:
my $mydate=localtime( time() + 600 ); (600 seconds being 10 minutes, added to the current time). -- Bernhard van Staveren - madcat(at)ghostfield.com GhostField Internet - http://www.ghostfield.com/ "A witty saying proves nothing, but damn it's funny!" - me, 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
