You did not provide the version of Perl or the operating system
you are using, but they could have part in what may be wrong.

US - Slackware Linux 8.0.0, perl v5.6.1 UK - Cobalt Linux release 6.0 (Shinkansen), perl 5.005_03

Examining the db files you provided to me, one difference I
noted is the LANG resource is different, but I am not sure
it may play a role.  For the US archive, LANG is set to POSIX
while for the UK archive, it is set to en_US.

Changing LANG resource made no difference.


Also, you have POSIXSTRFTIME enabled.  I am guessing that this
along with LANG could be causing the problem, or it could
just by your system's strftime().  It is possible that en_US
could be skewing the system's strftime() behavior, or strftime()
on your system is doing something itself.

Looks like strftime() on the UK system is the problem. I disabled POSIXSTRFTIME and I get the correct results. Any suggestions on what might be wrong with strftime()? I was hoping to use the system version so that I can use the %s (seconds since epoch) format in the date to create a timestamp.


Thanks for the help,
Mike
