in reply to Timelocal, Localtime Bug?

5.8.7 isn't the latest release in the 5.8 series, there have been 2 more. Beside that, 5.8.x is no longer supported. 5.10.x is no longer supported either. I don't expect a new release in the 5.12 series to happen either.

I suggest checking what your code does in 5.14, or in 5.15.9. If that prints what you think it should print, consider the bug to be fixed.

    The problem is that I am constrained to the installed version, and it would be a heck of a fight to get the administrators to update to a newer version.
      So, if there's a bug, and it got fixed, it would be utterly useless to you anyway?

        Correct, there is no way to update, but now I know it's not a bug in my code, and I know to use something other than timelocal!
