Well, notably this one can just wrap timegm(3) in the common case that it exists. GNU libc, BSD and Windows all provide the functionality, either under this name, or renamed (on Windows it is called _mkgmtime). So in most cases it should just wrap the C function. > You can make Time::Local do what you want by calling timegm_nocheck. Yes, I'm aware that currently it appears to work, but the documentation does state it specifically is undefined what happens when you do that. So I don't want to rely on things the documentation says I shouldn't rely on, even if the current implementation makes it OK. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leon...@leonerd.org.uk ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/
