I posted up some proof-of-concept code for that to be done in Config.pm, determine the range limitations of localtime() during the Perl build and use that to generate sensible localtime() warnings when trying to process dates outside its acceptable range. And then there's a crazier idea of incorporating our own date handling code which doesn't have the cramped range of the system's localtimes, but I don't know how to do that. -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -- Phillip K.
