Hello there,
I'm using MIME::Lite to send E-mails out that are generated from a Perl
script.
I seem to be having problems with the date field. When I hard code a
date into
the message e.g.

$msg = new MIME::Lite
        From    =>      $from,
        To      =>      $to,
        Date    =>      'Wednesday 20th March 2002 17:30',
        etc

it works fine & the resulting E-mail includes the time the mail was
sent.


If I try to pass $date from Perl using localtime it does not work.
e.g.

$date = strftime "%a %d/%m/20%y %H:%M", localtime; (I know I get a valid
date here)

$msg = new MIME::Lite
        From    =>      $from,
        To      =>      $to,
        Date    =>      $date,
        etc

Does anybody know the rules regarding the date field and what it
expects. 
I cannot find the key info I require on CPAN.

Any info greatly received

Richard.
