Can someone please explain to me what's happening here? (Running perl 5.6.1) 
{9} % perl
use Time::Local;
$epoch = timelocal(0, 0, 0, 25, 11, 48);
print "$epoch\n";


Can't handle date (0, 0, 0, 25, 11, 148) at - line 2
{10} %

[download]
I'm trying to convert December 25, 1948 to epoch seconds. The man page claims that Time::Local can handle dates back to 1900, but it doesn't seem so in this case. And why on earth is it converting "48" to "148"?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
