Actually, he *is* using it in a scalar environement:
# my $realaccess = localtime($access);
The trick is, he's not using the standard Perl localtime. He's using
the Time::localtime module, which replaces the standard Perl localtime
with one that returns Time::tm objects. David, you'd be better off
using the standard Perl localtime than using Time::localtime.
