in reply to Why GOD... WHY?!? Y2K+4 bug?

You need to calm down and ask yourself what information you've given us to work with. Here's what we know so far:

Here's the way the Monastery works: you post an example (hopefully a short one) of what didn't work, and we try to solve it. If you just burst in and start shouting, we won't be able to make head or tail of what you're talking about.

So now you've learned how NOT to ask a question at Perl Monks.

That's your loss. Ours too, perhaps, because this a terrific perl resource and (!) a fun community. But it doesn't suit everyone, that's true. Even some long time members occasionally get burned to a crisp when their resolve slips.

I wish you the best of luck on your journey.
