The only values that you have to supply to POSIX::mktime() are the first six, the other values are recomputed, so: my ( $sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year ) = ( 1, 0, 0, 1, 10, 107 ); my $timestamp = mktime( $sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year ); John -- Perl isn't a toolbox, but a small machine shop where you can special-order certain sorts of tools at low cost and in short order. -- Larry Wall -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
