Date::manip question

[aquila125]

Hi all,

Im' writing some scripts to log data into a database. For one of the conversions, I would like to use the UnixDate function in the Manip package to get the unixdate of 30 days ago.

For example:

UnixDate("2005101620:59:59","%s");

gives me 1129492799, but this is 2005-10-17 21:59:59 so it's one hour off.. I'm using CET as the timezone..
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Why not simply use "time - 30 * 86400"?

I need a specific time on that day..

if it is always 1 hour off - can't you just subtract an extra hour?

Kind Regards
Duncan

What about this:

my $hour = 20;
my $mins = 59;
my $secs = 59;
my $time = (time - 30*86400) % 86400 + $secs + $mins * 60 + $hour * 3600;
