[Hatchet-users] Hatchet fix for "Transaction aborted"

[Jason Dixon]

Hi folks-

Is anyone out there?  :)

I hope to have an update to Hatchet out no later than this weekend, 
maybe sooner.  I just got a very helpful fix from Humberto Sartini 
regarding the "Transaction aborted... date out of range" error.  I 
missed that there's a method in Time::Local called timelocal_nocheck() 
that avoids the range checking that's been causing us all headaches 
with Hatchet.  The following changes should provide relief for anyone 
suffering this error:

(hatchet, v.0.7.1)

Line 11:  use Time::Local 'timelocal_nocheck';   #optional
Line 170: my $epoch = timelocal_nocheck($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, 
$months{$month}, $year);
Line 205: my $epoch = timelocal_nocheck($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, 
$months{$month}, $year);


Thanks,
