Thanks Tom for your detailed reply!

I want to thanks also other monks for their replies and yes: it was dumb from my part to forget the very basic definition of equinox.. but as always asking here is a pure pleasure because you have chances to get not only the correct answer but, more important, a lot panorama behind and sweeties to feed your brain.

*PS* incidentally I discovered Win32API::File::Time where Tom thanks dada and that the company they seem to work for produced the black and white film used in Eatalian neorealism movies as well all Totò's and Fellini's ones. Not all chemistry comes to hurt :)

There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.
