Have you tried: use locale;
I suggested `perldoc perllocale` because I was not sure if you could use it on M$ platforms, but after I did a few seconds of research, I learned you can since it is partially POSIX compliant. This should tell perl what your locale (timezone offset from GMT/country code/language/number formatting, etc..) should be set to in the interpreter. Try it and see if it works. If not, or the time is different, you may want to read 1perldoc perllocale` and see what applies to you. -Greg On Mon, 28 Oct 2002 09:38:18 -0600 Goodman Kristi - kgoodm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I asked this question about a week ago but still have not found a > solution. > > My localtime () function returns a time that is 5 hours ahead.
