$ perl -MTime::Local -le 'print timelocal(0,0,0,1,1,1900)'
Cannot handle date (0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1900) at -e line 1


why Time::Local can't handle the date of 1900?

Thanks.

Unix time starts at 1 Jan. 1970 so a time in 1900 is invalid.

Time for someone to RTFM I think!
<http://perldoc.perl.org/Time/Local.html>

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use Time::Local 'timelocal_nocheck';
print scalar localtime timelocal_nocheck 0,0,0,1,1,1900;
