The explanation is that the year portion of the date, that is returned
from the Perl functions "gmtime" and "localtime", is the current year
minus 1900. I suppose that mhtime.pl has to be modified accordingly, and
that Earl will do something about it in the next version.
In the meantime you can try this:
Exchange the line
$year = sprintf("%02d", $year);
in the mhtime.pl file (at line 122) for
$year = sprintf("%02d", (length($year) == 2 ? $year : $year - 100));
