Today's date changing
So I used the following code from the FAQ "Hello, today is . . ."
Code:

my ($sec, $min, $hour, $day, $mon, $year, $dweek, $dyear, $daylight) = localtime(time);
@Weekdays = (Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday);
$Date = &get_date;
print qq!
<p>$Weekdays[$dweek], $Date </p>


The date is correct on any page that does not have a record on it. It shows Dec 31, 1969, on the List All page. What is going on?

Do you get the correct day of the week on all pages?

Yes, the same day of the week, but no matter the date, on the List All page, I get Dec 31, 1969.

Then I would suggest copying some of the code from sub get_date to your date routine in sub html_header:

Code:
my ($sec, $min, $hour, $day, $mon, $year, $dweek, $dyear, $daylight) = localtime(time);
my (@months) = qw!Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec!;
my (@Weekdays) = (Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday);
($day < 10) and ($day = "0$day");
$year = $year + 1900;
print qq!
<p>$Weekdays[$dweek], $day-$months[$mon]-$year</p>

It's not that much code to repeat and we know that the date thing works with your weekday code, so this is the easiest way to work it out.
