Today() function does not work in solaris 9.

[xenomage]

Hi all,

having this problem with a solaris 9 machine running perl 5.6.1.

===========================================================
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use Date::Calc qwall);

my ($proxyNumber, $runMode, $curYear, $curMonth, $curDay, $randID);

print ($curYear,"-", $curMonth, "-", $curDay, "\n");
($curYear, $curMonth, $curDay) = Today();
print ($curYear,"-", $curMonth, "-", $curDay);
==========================================================

this looks fine but i'm getting long figures for the output.

Hi,
Are you sure Today is with a capital T, I thought it was today ?
Anyway, today wont work with NT so I tried :

$today = new Date::Simple ;

instead of :

$today = today()  ;

and it worked, default is system date.

HTH

xenomage, I tried your code as you posted it and it returned the correct date, no funny values. This is with Perl v5.8.0 on Win XP Pro, Date::Calc version 5.3.
