Greetings,

I have a small problem. When I create a cookie using cgi.pm, the expiration
date is always three hours behind the actual time. In other words, the
following code snipet:

# Time on my local machine: 10:00 pm
# Rhat Linux server using "date" command: Fri Jul 11 21:59:44 IDT 2003
# hwclock command: Fri 11 Jul 2003 09:59:48 PM IDT  0.611152 seconds

  $cookie = $cgi->cookie

         -name=> $cookiename,
         -value=> $uname,
         -expires=> "+4h",
         -path=>'/'
        );

The above code produced a cookie with an expiration time as follows:

Expires:  Fri, Jul 11 2003 22:58:33

Notice that the cookie expires in one hour, not in four hours (+4h). What
could possibly be the problem? Where is PERL reading the incorrect time
from?

Thank you.
