`scalar localtime` misses the time zone that appears in the OP's example. I'd use `strftime` to get it exact. `$ perl -e 'print scalar localtime, "\n"' Sun Sep 22 13:01:42 2002 $ perl '-MPOSIX qw(strftime)' -e 'print strftime( "%a %b %d %T %Z %Y", + localtime ), "\n"' Sun Sep 22 13:01:48 PDT 2002` [download] _______________ DamnDirtyApe Those who know that they are profound strive for clarity.

$ perl -e 'print scalar localtime, "\n"'
Sun Sep 22 13:01:42 2002
$ perl '-MPOSIX qw(strftime)' -e 'print strftime( "%a %b %d %T %Z %Y",
+ localtime ), "\n"'
