But the epoch isn't effected by timezone. It's the number of seconds since 00:00 on 1st Jan 1970 GMT. I can't see how you'll ever get different answers from: `print strftime '%s', localtime;` [download] and `print time;` [download] Am I missing something? -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply] [d/l] [select]

No I don't think you are missing something, it was just the only semi-plausible reason that I could think of that someone might think they want to do that. /J\	[reply]
