I studied hard the section you referred me to along with how you were converting from days to Month/Day but I still can not see how to (without disrupting the original code much) simply just be able to enter a Default Future Closing Date by Month/Day instead of Days Only.

Maybe if I explained the purpose again it would help.....

[] I would like to have an Auction Event once or twice a year (as a fund raiser for non-profit school) and be able to enter the items and have them ALL end on a certain future date and time. I can do this now with your features but I would have to enter the 'number of days' which will be different each day I enter a new auction item.

[] I was hoping there would be some simple way to just manually set the 'certain future closing date as [Month/Day/Year?] & closing time as [hh/mm/ss]' as variables within the config file and the remainder of the script would run as normal.

It is probably in front of my eyes and I am not seeing it.

Any help would be appreciated. Maybe I am the only one seeing how to use your script in this manner and not worth the time.

Search eAuction.pl for 'sub proc_new'
Search 'sub proc_new' for Code:

    $close_time = get_the_time(
       $form{'DAYS'},
       $form{'HOUR'},
       $form{'MIN'},
       $form{'SEC'}
   ); # Servertime

Replace the found function with Code:

    #$close_time = get_the_time(
   #    $form{'DAYS'},
   #    $form{'HOUR'},
   #    $form{'MIN'},
   #    $form{'SEC'}
   #); # Servertime

   use Time::Local;

   my $month = 2;
   my $mday = 14;
   my $year = 2006;

   my $hour = 22;
   my $min = 0;
   my $sec = 0;    
   
   $close_time = timelocal($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, ($month - 1), $year);

The code will set the constant close_time:
14/02/2006 22:00:00

I hope it helps ...
