Right, but the code posted anonymously converts to local time instead. That may not be correct. On second thought, he surely meant for `$ENV{TZ} = "US/Eastern";` to remain used, in which case his code works. I didn't quite understand his point (that you can make things more complicated by replacing `sprintf` with Time::Piece) when I wrote my comment. If you want to use `strftime` instead of `sprintf`, you might as well grab it directly from POSIX instead of involving (rather horrible) Time::Piece.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
