       Perhaps I'm missreading it, but it seems to me that the month value in an   
   ftsc compatible date is zero based...

      Hmm...  Although the date command as used there returns the month as a 1   
   based integer, the localtime function itself returns it as a zero based   
   integer.

         Even if it is an actual issue, a zero based index is just as valid   
   as a 1 based index...

       If you or anyone else do find such issues, please comment on it, preferably   
   in the PERL echo...
