Hi.

Thanks for taking the time to do this.

I usually add warnings and strict to help avoid errors. Adding those yields:
Code:
Global symbol "$offset" requires explicit package name at ./date.pl line 99.  (about 10 times).

and
Code:
$ ./date.pl 
Use of uninitialized value $input in split at ./date.pl line 65.
Use of uninitialized value $offset in multiplication (*) at ./date.pl line 144.

The line numbers reflect the addition of lines for use strict; and use warnings;

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

NAME
pmdate - display an offset date SYNOPSIS
pmdate [ offset ... ] format DESCRIPTION

An offset is specified with a leading sign (``+'' or ``-''), followed by an integer value, followed by one of the following ``scale'' spec- ifiers; S seconds M minutes H hours d days m months y years The output format follows the same rules as for date(1) and strftime(3). For example, the following will display the date a week ago as DDMMYYYY; pmdate -7d %d%m%Y PCP ENVIRONMENT
Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP. On each installation, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables. The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configura- tion file, as described in pcp.conf(5). SEE ALSO
