HEY! In my own defense:
-- I only did that once
-- I was referring to Time::Local (not localtime :)
-- I am a bonehead
-- it really is counter-intuitive to have the month 0-based
and the day and year 1-based. Especially since the months
are commonly referred to by their 1-based position within
the year.
But I digress... newbies don't always know *where* to look even when you tell them.
