I think the problem is that under cygwin localtime returns GMTime.

There's a solution here:

which says "use POSIX 'tzset'; tzset()" before calling localtime.

I haven't tested it. So use at your own risk.

Update: just fixed a typo.

Don't be too self-critical xorl. You aren't (imho) an I. ;) Thanks for your hint. Regards, tos p.s.: no risk, but fun ... works fine `# date Thu Apr 22 07:38:57 2004 # perl -we 'use POSIX "tzset";tzset();use Time::localtime;print ctime( +)' Thu Apr 22 07:38:59 2004` [download] Is simplicity best or simply the easiest Martin L.
