The localtime function is looking for a the total number of seconds from the epoch to now. The date format from the database would be the string that you have documented above. A possible suggestion for fixing this would be to break the date up into the localtime functions individual fields and output the number of seconds into a variable followed by putting the output of that variable into the line above. _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
