I'm only a raw beginner in Perl, so hopefully I'm giving you the right
information. I'm sure others in the list will point out my mistakes :)
localtime returns the following:
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst)
with $mon, the month, being in the range (0 .. 11). So January is 0 to
December being 11. You aren't doing anything wrong, just misinterpreting
the information.
