Hi I have the following code for getting the local date. Please let me know if this right because some times users are complaining an error that -1 is not in range so wondering if I have the right code.... $app_date is the date I get from a field value like 2-8-2006 1:14:42 PM 
($adate,$atime) = split(/ /, $app_date);
($ayear,$amonth,$aday) = split(/-/, $adate);
($ahour,$amin,$asec) = split(/:/, $atime);
$app_time = 
timelocal($asec, $amin, $ahour, $aday, --$amonth, $ayear);
