I'm not really a Perl programmer so I try to make the code clear to people coming from Java, C#, etc. (no remarks on my relative success are needed). This kind of construct seems foreign to most other languages. In fact I wish localtime would return an associative array instead of a positional array (I basically wrap localtime with a sub that converts the data to a hash). > I don't know why it is changing, > (I can't see your entire program) but perhaps you should just store > the current time in a scalar and see if that helps. It would have to be a global or environment variable, which I am hoping to avoid (especially since this one should already contain the value).
