[Ovmsdev] Time variable

Like this (experiment):

$ ./t.pl
UTC original = Wed Mar 22 20:28:27 2000
UTC adjusted = Wed Nov  6 20:28:27 2019

$ cat t.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

use POSIX qw(strftime);
use Time::Local;

my @original = (27,28,20,22,3-1,2000-1900,0);

print "UTC original = ", strftime("%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y", at original),"\n";
my $jdt = timegm(@original);
my $ajdt = $jdt + (1024 * 7 * 86400);

my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = gmtime($ajdt);
print "UTC adjusted = ", strftime("%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y",($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst)),"\n";

@Tamás: Does the above adjustment show the correct date/time (Wed Nov  6 20:28:27 2019 UTC)?

Regards, Mark.
