Message-Id: <398AE6DE.E83BB439@worldwebserver.com>
I know that with perl 5, localtime returns 100 for the year 2000. I've
fixed this by adding 1900 to the year.
However, I'm getting a weird bug here. August is 8, but localtime is
returning 7 for the month right now. I'm running WinNT, and my clock is
set properly, as well as the data and time in my BIOS.
Anyone know what could be wrong? My code is below:
($DAY, $MONTH, $YEAR) = (localtime)[3,4,5];
$YEAR += 1900;

Go back and reread the documentation on localtime in the perlfunc
manpage. You'll find that there is no bug.

Nothing at all is wrong :-)
$ perldoc -f localtime
and $mon is the month itself, in the range `0..11'
with 0 indicating January and 11 indicating
December. $year is the number of years since
1900. That is, $year is `123' in year 2023.
You might want to look at
$ perldoc POSIX
for strftime() which makes time/date formatting very easy.

Nope didn't help.
perldoc perlfunc
found the localtime entry. According to the doc, localtime()[4] returns
the numeric month. August is 8. I am being returned 7. Why?

And if you still can't find why it's not a bug, keep in mind that some

ie First object in array is [0]...

You know, Greg, if you want to be so friggin' unhelpful, that's up to you, but
why do you bother replying then. Just to teach Mike a lesson? Or is it to share

Pointing someone to the correct documentation where the
answer can be found is "friggin' unhelpful"?
If you know where the answers are, and how to get there,
you'll be able to help yourself in the future. Just being
told "0" now won't help the OP find answers to different
questions later on.

This is a feature, not a bug. The month in localtime is represented by a
number ranging from 0 to 11. January is represented by 0, February is 1...
you get the picture: the code for August is 7. This may seem
counter-inuitive at first, but comes in real handy in constructs like
$monthcode=(localtime)[4];
@months=qw(January February March April May June July August September
October November December);
$month=$months[$monthcode];

Yes, you failed to read the documentation. Go to a command prompt and

perldoc perlfunc does not detail that (at least on my system). I am
sorry. Thanks for your help. I knew how to solve my problem (add 1 to
$MONTH) but didn't know if this was a proper solution, if this would
cause problems at a later time.

No, I think the right way to answer a question like that is the way you
did it in your other post, in which you both answered Mike's question
and pointed him to the source of more info. Telling the guy to RTFM, as
Greg did, was no help at all as it turned out from Mike's subsequent
posts.

"...if this would cause problems at a later time."
Absolutely stunning pun! * laughs *
Doesn't it just annoy you to have Sissified Geeks
jump up and down while screaming at you to read some
gibberish documentation which does not hold a single
clue about your needed answer?
Rocket Scientists! Go read the FAQ! It will tell you
nothing about your question!
Heh!
Eighty bagillion articles full of mule manure
references to a FAQ, mule manure screaming about
not RTFM and, not a single answer.
Actually this month thing is a bug. Long ago, oh so
very long ago but not in another galaxy, the programmer
who wrote this localtime function, well, he is missing
a thumb on his left hand. Inherently, in counting with
his fingers to figure out coding, he begins,
" zero... "
and counts from zero upward.

Why does everyone in this group assume the person asking the question
hasn't read the docs? I HAVE read the docs, and it does not detail why I
am being returned the wrong value for month localtime()[4].
Maybe I am missing something in the docs, but I am certainly reading
them!

as the localtime section continues:
The array elements are numeric, and come straight out of a struct tm.
In particular this means that $mon has the range 0..11 . . .
Now, if January is 0, and August is [January] + 7 . . .

Even if I use $name = param('name'), the contents of the form field after
the ampersand do not get saved in $name.
I am using POST. This happens both in IE 5 and Netscape 4. The query
string is not in the log file.
The problem still seems to be with my Perl. The data is being sent from the
browser to the script. After the script gets the data, the param function
does not seem to be doing what I am expecting. Am I using param correctly,
or should I use another method to get the data from the form?

I use Net::FTP on HP/UX all the time, talking to other HP's, to
Solaris, AIX, Novell and PC's.
As I recall, though, there was some kind of problem with Net::FTP and
an older release of Perl, still Perl 5, but maybe 5.004 or something
like that. Maybe that's it?

FORTRAN's easier than this, too, why don't you try it?
Their news group isn't as f****** nice, though.

but:
1. you STILL have to install it
2. you STILL need a different java bytecode interpreter or JITC for each
development/deployment platform
3. you STILL need to read the documentation
Perl, java, APL, PL/1, whatever. You still need to follow the rules.

If I wanted to communited using a HTML form POST how what would I do, I
use LWP::Simple right now for HTML form GET actions, but what about
POSTS, can that be done? Any suggestions?

Just curious: why do you think the answer to this question will be
different when you ask it today from it was when someone else asked it
yesterday and someone else the day before that and so on?
If you don't think the answer will be differnt why did you ask the
question again?

Message-Id: <null>
Administrivia:
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
| NOTE: The mail to news gateway, and thus the ability to submit articles
| through this service to the newsgroup, has been removed. I do not have
| time to individually vet each article to make sure that someone isn't
| abusing the service, and I no longer have any desire to waste my time
| dealing with the campus admins when some fool complains to them about an
| article that has come through the gateway instead of complaining
| to the source.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
