Re: Localtime Updating

print LOG "[$localtime] $log : @data \n";

Maybe that should be:

print LOG '[' . scalar localtime . "] $log : @data \n";

I think you mean `print LOG "[".localtime()."] $log : @data \n";` or `print LOG "[", scalar localtime, "] $log : @data \n";` Your point being that we don't know where `$localtime` is being set, so it might be stale.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
