How can I fix this to work at CI-Host, (I think they are runing Apache)
have you tried reading the documentation for posix?
from the docs:
If you want your code to be portable, your format (fmt) argument should
use only the conversion specifiers defined by the ANSI C standard. These
are aAbBcdHIjmMpSUwWxXyYZ%.
i don't see 'D' in that list. and besides, your earthlink fmt has
'%1d', while your ci-host fmt has '%D'.

OK I did try to read the documentation, and have changed my code:
print OUT strftime('%A, %B %ld, %Y %I:%M %p',localtime) ,\n;
But look here,

what is going wrong? (see the date string)
Thanks -- have great weekend

hrm - dunno. i use date::calc myself for date manipulation. maybe
someone else more familiar with posix and its cross-platform
inconsistencies can answer this one?

POSIX 'strftime' issue
Good afternoon,
I have small problem here, check out the following:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use POSIX 'strftime';
# This works fine on Earthlink's servers using:
print OUT strftime('%A, %B %1d, %Y %I:%M %p',localtime) ,\n;
#returns: Wednesday, June 19, 2002 02:01 PM
#but at CI-Host, I get this string:
print OUT strftime('%A, %B %D, %Y %I:%M %p',localtime) ,\n;
#returns: Wednesday, June d, 2002 12:53 PM
