[ID 19991103.010] bug in Localtime

Dear reader, 

I found a problem using the function localtime. Executing the below script
will give me a wrong value for $mon (10 i.s.o. 11):

($sec,$min,$hour,$day,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time) ; 
printf "$year/$mon/$day\n"; 
printf "$hour:$min:$sec\n"; 
printf "$]\n"; 

output: 

99/10/3
12:12:2 
5.00503 

using the functions date and time (MSDOS box under Windows NT 4) 

Date: wo 03-11-1999 
time: 12:12:02,32 

Is this a bug in Perl ?
