Oh good, someone else is seeing it too then. I was trying to set up the guestbook suite from nms [1] and thought for a while there that it had a bug in the date formatting code, but then I realized that the only format code that seemed to produce the error is %Z, and that it worked the way it's supposed to [a] for the date command on OSX and [b] in the script on Solaris and Debian. At that point I couldn't tell if I had screwed up my copy of POSIX for the default Perl, or if it was already screwed up. Sounds like the latter now. So, does anyone have a suggestion for a bugfix? Where would one submit a Perl bug to Apple, now that that's what we seem to have here? [1] http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/ good stuff! -- Chris Devers "Okay, Gene... so, -1 x -1 should equal what?"
