Date (Invalid date format)
This may a stupid question and I appologize. My site has been immobilized because I get;
Date (Invalid date format)
error anytime I (or anyone else) tries to add or modify a URL. I have not changed ANYTHING for 3 months on the site or the script. The scripts are installed on a NT virtual host and everything was fine until May 31 (last link added). Can anyone help?

Most likely, your hosting company has updated their Perl package, library files, and modules (like Local.pm), which could be causing a problem with your date routines.

So what can I do? I am not sure what I have to ask them to do? Downgrade? What version should they be at? Keep in mind that I am on a NT box.

The most recent build of Perl is at 5.6. This version seems to have some glitches in the Local.pm module.

Ask your hosting company if they have upgraded their Perl and modules...Then ask their advice for re-writing your Perl scripts that will work properly with the Local.pm module.

I am not a very accomplished PERL writer, are we talking a major re-write or just a few lines?

Few lines...but the first thing to do is to contact your hosting company since you have already stated that you have not made any changes to your SCRIPT.
