Do you mean local time now or local time for all time? The former is easy, the latter hard. Well, it's not hard for those places where the offset from UTC has remained (mostly) constant, but there are some places that have an offset from UTC that is a function of time more complex than daylight savings. Or would C<date()> just use C<localtime()> and punt to the OS/C RTL/etc.? If so, I'll shut up. But if not, I think that we should provide a solution that works everywhere by letting the user decide their own offset from UTC. -Scott -- Jonathan Scott Duff duff@cbi.tamucc.eduThread Previous | Thread Next
