Description Chris Siebenmann 2000-04-03 06:34:01 UTC 
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

Comment 2 Leonard den Ottolander 2004-04-22 15:17:54 UTC 
Has this behaviour changed in later releases?
Comment 3 Chris Siebenmann 2004-08-12 19:45:02 UTC 
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...)
