assigned to nalin Has this behaviour changed in later releases? This behavior seems to no longer be there on Red Hat 7.3, Red Hat 9, or Fedora Core 2. I suspect that this bug report can thus be closed. (Sorry I didn't reply to this for a while...) |
If you feed POSIX::strftime() gmtime()'s output, the results are one hour later than they should be if you happen to be in DST at the time. Example: perl -e 'use POSIX; print POSIX::strftime("%H:%M\n", gmtime(time()));'; date -u; date 07:45 Mon Apr 3 06:45:58 UTC 2000 Mon Apr 3 02:45:58 EDT 2000
