You did not provide the version of Perl or the operating system you are using, but they could have part in what may be wrong.
US - Slackware Linux 8.0.0, perl v5.6.1 UK - Cobalt Linux release 6.0 (Shinkansen), perl 5.005_03
Examining the db files you provided to me, one difference I noted is the LANG resource is different, but I am not sure it may play a role. For the US archive, LANG is set to POSIX while for the UK archive, it is set to en_US.
Changing LANG resource made no difference.
Also, you have POSIXSTRFTIME enabled. I am guessing that this along with LANG could be causing the problem, or it could just by your system's strftime(). It is possible that en_US could be skewing the system's strftime() behavior, or strftime() on your system is doing something itself.
Looks like strftime() on the UK system is the problem. I disabled POSIXSTRFTIME and I get the correct results. Any suggestions on what might be wrong with strftime()? I was hoping to use the system version so that I can use the %s (seconds since epoch) format in the date to create a timestamp.
Thanks for the help, Mike
