ISO 8601 specifies multiple notations. For everything I have ever done, the notation you choose seems ... uh, not so useful. :-) http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html gives a pretty good overview of the standard. Something like strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ", gmtime(time)); seems more useful. It gives $ perl -MPOSIX=strftime -e 'print strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ\n", gmtime(time))'; 2001-11-25T14:56:48Z - ask -- ask bjoern hansen, http://ask.netcetera.dk/ !try; do();
