Actually, while you're going about the art of fixing unperlish code, how about this?... `my %timehash; @timehash{ qw/sec min hour mday mon year wday yday isdist/ } = ( localtime );` [download] Not sure if it's an improvement, but at least you've got just one lexical instead of a whole slew of them. Of course other more reasonable solutions have already been posted, but I just couldn't bear to see all those scalars being created and used. The hash keeps them all under one roof, so to speak.
