szabgab has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
field 5 returned by localtime() in list context is the year.
In order to get back the date one needs to write $year + 1900.
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time);
Does anyone know why did Larry make it that way?
Update
Title corrected thanks to Re: Why does localtime() return 1900-$YEAR?
