Thanks for the tip, but I'm still getting this: ERROR: config_var invalid zone in SetDate: Use of uninitialized value $mod in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.22/Date/Manip/TZ.pm line 180. Use of uninitialized value $mod in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.22/Date/Manip/TZ.pm line 181.

    invalid zone in SetDate

    US/Eastern

    EST is an abbreviation, and as the error message states, isn't valid.

    Thanks for the tip, but I'm still getting this: ERROR...

    :)

    Where is the code that generates that message? Are you trying to run Help with date:manip ? I get some errors with that code also :)

    update: ++ davido again, i had an older version (6.45) which didn't complain, Date::Manip 6.53 definitely complains about "EST" being invalid, no complaints about EST5EDT or America/New_York

      The warning was added in version 6.49, so that's why you didn't see it with the earlier version.
