Hey runrig, thanks for the quick reply!

That's cool, I haven't seen that one before... I just checked its Perldoc out (http://perldoc.perl.org/Time/Piece.html) and
it seems simple enough. Might be good to give that a try...


Hummm.... Just thought of something as I'm writing this.
Once I'm finished with my script I will be porting it to a windows executable using something like "pp" or "CavaPackager". Currently
I'm writing the script on MY laptop which is linux.

So what I was just thinking now is that since the use of localtime does NOT require you to include a Module to use it, would
it be better to use that one in that case? Since things like CavaPackager will include the needed Modules in order to execute the
script? Does that make sense?

Again, thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

Thanks Again,
Matt
