Re(2): localtime inconsistency

it displays like this:

Fri Aug 18 10:00:37 2000 

and looking at windows 98 clock:

Fri Aug 18 5:53:30 PM

What does this mean?

12 -> 20 are the time zone difference (+8h), so it looks like the time zone
isn't set under mod_perl (or you are using CGI mode?). I don't know why the
Perl and System clock have a difference of 7 minutes.

Looks like there is a problem with your time zone settings, but I don't have
a idea where to search for that problem. If it is under mod_perl, then maybe
someone on the mod_perl list can help.

What does

perl -e "print scalar(localtime)"

say?
Same as the win 98 clock or same as the clock in the Embperl page?
