Hello there Monks,

For some reason when I pass timelocal() the number 8 for months which is August and the day is 31, it gives me this error.

Day '31' out of range 1..30 at ./myFile.pl line 147

I can post all the code if necessary but I've checked all the variables and it's definitely getting the correct values.


Below is a snippet from my code that is having the issue.

For the code below the 2D array has this data in it. Each element is separated by whitespace
