That is what Time::Epoch should address, I hope. If we standardize on the Unix epoch (although possibly with 64 bits), this won't be an issue for the overwhelming majority of users. >In my humble opinion, I think perl's time() ought to just call the C >library's time() function and not waste time mucking with the return >value. I am not opposed to this. If we stick with it, then I will make Time::Epoch convert between Mac OS and Unix time, and any other epoch we deem necessary. -- Chris Nandor pudge@pobox.com http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network pudge@osdn.com http://osdn.com/Thread Previous | Thread Next
