i didn't run into this until munging code via mod_perl and
postgresql, so i figured this was a good place to ask a
perl-generic question--if not, please point the way:

        print scalar localtime -123456789;
                "Tue Feb  1 20:26:51 1966"

        print scalar localtime -1234567890;
                "Mon Nov 17 18:28:30 1930"

        print scalar localtime -2100000000;
                "Tue Jun 16 04:40:00 1903"

so since linux (debian potato) can grok timestamps before 1970 (as
negative values, which makes quite some sense) then does it not
make sense for Time::Local to allow
        Time::Local::timelocal(0,0,0,7,11,1941) # 7 dec '41
or
        Time::Local::timelocal(0,0,0,30,9,1929) # 30 oct '29
?

or, what alternative is there (aside from munging the
Time::Local code itself)?
