Hello,

When I try to add new links I get the following message (after I've pushed the submit button):

CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : fatal error: Can't locate Time/Local.pm in @INC (@INC contains: d:\html\users\2fast2com\html\cgi-bin\links\admin .) at d:\html\users\2fast2com\html\cgi-bin\links\admin/links.cfg line 160.



line 160 contains this:

149: sub date_to_unix {
150: # --------------------------------------------------------
151: # This routine must take your date format and return the time a la UNIX time().
152: # Some things to be careful about..
153: # timelocal does not like to be in array context, don't do my($time) = 154: timelocal (..)
155: # int your values just in case to remove spaces, etc.
156: # catch the fatal error timelocal will generate if you have a bad date..
157: # don't forget that the month is indexed from 0!
159: #
160: my $date = shift; my $i;
161: my %months = map { $_ => $i++ } qw!Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov 162: Dec!;
163: my ($day, $mon, $year) = split(/-/, $date);
164:
165: exists $months{$mon} or return undef;
166: $day = int($day); $year = $year - 1900;
167:
168: require Time::Local;
169: my $time = 0;
170: eval {
171: $time = &Time::Local::timelocal(0,0,0, $day, $months{$mon}, $year);
172: };
173: if ($@) { die "invalid date format: $date - parsed as (day: $day, month:
174: $months{$mon}, year: $year). Reason: $@"; }
175: return $time;
176: }

I hope this will look alright in the forum.
I think my problem has to do with the $date variable. Im running on a NT server. Please help me asap !

No...It has to do with not having all the current Perl modules, including Local.pm.

Contact your hosting company and ask them to download the current version of Perl from ActiveState, which includes the Local.pm file.

I also get this error message however my hosting company states that the latest version of perl (5.00503) is already installed. Any further comments?

Well...I would make sure that they have Local.pm compiled correctly.
