Re^5: Newbie: Request help on creating CSV using timestamp data

[Tux]

Is it possible that you are still using a module that overrides the builtin localtime function? I did mention that my example did use the builtin. (to be complete, I tested the same with use Time::Local; and use Time::Piece;, and both passed too).

I ran my piece of example code through every version of perl ever released since 5.6.0, and they all work as expected. Here is the shortened list of results (I skipped all development releases and older versions of stable branches, but included 5.8.8):

$ cat test.pl
use strict;
use warnings;

sub timestamp
{
    my @st = localtime (shift);
    return sprintf "%04d-%02d-%02dT%02d:%02d:%02d.000-0700",
        $st[5] + 1900, ++$st[4], @st[3,2,1,0];
    }

sub starttimestamp  { return timestamp (time);             }
sub endtimestamp    { return timestamp (time + (15 * 60)); }
sub futuretimestamp { return timestamp (time + shift);     }

my $fts = futuretimestamp (162 * 60 * 60); # Stamp 162 hours ahead
print $fts, "\n";
$ perl-all test.pl
