Hi,

On Windows NT,

I have written a little perl script that takes a txt file and import some events into the events/schedule files.

In this txt file, I have a date format (YYYYMMDD) field,  which I split into YYYY,MM,DD fields. I'm trying to convert this date into the epoch format)like in the schedule file).   I'm passing this date to the timelocal perl function.

I'm doing this way : timelocal(0,0,0,12,4,2004)
or even tried : timelocal(0,0,0,12,4,2004) + $main::localtime_offset;

It works ... but I don't get the correct value.
When I put the returned value  by timelocal(0,0,0,12,4,2004)
in the schedule file, the calendar will show it for some date in July ...

Any clues ?
Tks

Ok forget that ...
for a bizarre reason the month ranges from 0 to 11
but not the day (which is still 1-31)

So using month-1 works ... altough I keep getting a +18000 sec differences but that's ok.

Still open to suggestion .... :-)
