Date::Manip issues

Hi Guys

My date manip donot work with me explicitly adding the
$ENV{OS} = "Windows_NT";
$ENV{TZ} ="PST";

but the the problem is that as soon as i add
$ENV{OS} = "Windows_NT";
$ENV{TZ} ="PST";
use Date::Manip;

to use my $flag = Date_Cmp($deploydate." ".$deploytime,scalar localtime(time())); fuction it works, but setting timeout values in dummy task goes haywire

i set the timeout to "050820071200" and it takes it at "050820070500" I know there is some GMT issue but i can't figure out

Please help.

Thanks

- Try to set your Environment variables in the BEGIN{...}; block before your 'use' statements.
- Do us all a favor and do not cross-post

I did that too that didn't help.

and sorry for the cross post but i didn't know which forum to ask this question.

Have you tried it via Date_Init()?

EG


use Date::Manip;

&Date_Init('TZ=PST');
