I think thats actually supposed to be 1st Jan 2038 rather than 2023 (as says
my WinXP 32 bit Centrino):-
print scalar localtime( time + ( 30 * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 ) );
vs.
print scalar localtime( time + ( 29 * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 ) );
And AFAIK this only impacts 32 bit machines.
<OT>
Who knows what will happen by then anyway, my bet is another farcical 'Y2K
bug' causing Intel and M$ shares to rocket through the roof . . .
I should be long gone by then . . . unless my kids try and torture me by
keeping me alive on some yet to be invented life support system
Hopefully by then Jan's, Larry's, Tom's, Gisle's, MJD's (if you feel your
name should be included please add it in - it's starting to get late and
I've had a few too many) brains would be downloadable Matrix style . . . I
think I'd better stop now . . .
</OT>
Just in

Hi all,<br>
<br>
The recent discussion on a date-time module leaves me wondering:<br>
<br>
Given that time() only works up to year 2023, is there a successor<br>
module which can go beyond 2023, and earlier than 1900?<br>
<br>
What will be the code implication to support this new module?<br>
