Re: localtime hour count

I see following:

coli ~ # perl t.pl
Sat Apr  8 14:09:05 2006
Sat Apr  8 14:09:10 2006
Elapsed: 0:0:5
[download]

but on another machine:

D:\TESTS>perl 3
Sat Apr  8 18:10:21 2006
Sat Apr  8 18:10:26 2006
Elapsed: 3:0:5
[download]

Obviously, this is just conversion of time onto your local timezone settings (mine is GMT+3, yours is GMT+1? CET?)

This is still confusing durations with dates. See my post below. If the epoch was at 00:03:35 instead of 00:00:00 (and it might be on some scary operating system that someone just happenned to port perl to ;-) then your time delta would be much harder to explain =) -nuffin zz zZ Z Z #!perl	[reply]
