Hi Julian,

localtime acts upon a time integer if you pass it as a parameter, so if you
save the current time first you can then use it in subsequent calls - that
way you can call localtime twice with the same time. My original message had
a patch for that (and kept it as a Message variable so I could use it in my
custom functions :-)).

Hope that makes sense!

I don't think you can avoid the 2 calls to localtime can you? In a
scalar context it returns a nice pretty string and in a list context it
returns a structure. So evaluating it in a list context, and then using
the "scalar" operator on that would not have the same effect as applying
the "scalar" operator directly on localtime itself.
