I have a script that has been generating a strange error that I can't

following to help trouble shoot it if any errors:
#!/usr/bin/perl
BEGIN { open (STDERR, ">./scriptname_error.log"); }
In the error_log file it generates we keep seeing the following
error:
Invalid offset:
And that's it. Normally it will indicate the line#, date, detailed
error, etc., like in the apache error_log file. but this is all it
shows. This is a cron script also.
Any ideas or help with this error would be much appreciated.
Searching my own Perl libraries, I find that exactly this error would be
produced by a call to DateTime::TimeZone->new with an undefined value
for the 'name' parameter. My version validates the parameters to the
call and produces a more informative error message, but it is very
likely that you have an earlier version that doesn't do that.
HTH,

Rob,
yes that was exactly it. finally found it after some extensive digging throught
the script.
Thx's
Mike
