Re: Re: Re: Quickie Alarm Clock

(ps. the output from localtime doesn't have any ':'s? (in my version anyway))

Really? In list context, (my version is AS 5.6.1 build 633) I get:

perl -e "print localtime"
3481710810222521

In scalar context, however, I get:

perl -e "print scalar localtime"

I'm guessing that you are in the UK (aren't I a bright boy ;) - my locale (US) won't make a difference here

Well, you have could blown me down with a feather duster. So it does. How very sensible. My profound apologies to Juerd. Well It's better than the Abottoire, but Yorkshire!	[reply] [d/l]
