Hi!
I am running ActivePerl v5.8.8 on Windows. Recently I found that
software using Time::Local module got broken. New version of Time::Local
calculates times wrong I think. In example (having Time::Local version
1.11 in folder 1.11 and 1.1901 in folder 1.1901):
C:\TEMP>perl -e "use lib '1.11'; use Time::Local; print timelocal('00',
'00', '02', '01', '00', '1970')"
0
C:\TEMP>perl -e "use lib '1.1901'; use Time::Local; print imelocal('00',
'00', '02', '01', '00', '1970')"
-3600
I live in Finland, our time zone is EET so it's +02:00 to GMT (+03:00 in
summer when DST kicks in). 1970-01-01 02:00:00 EET should be 1970-01-01
00:00:00 GMT I think?
Time::Local 1.11 calculates this right, 1.1901 does not. I solved my
problem by using older version of Time::Local, but I just thought that
this may interest others as well...
Best regards,
Jari Eskelinen
