Hey Johan!

One thing I should mention about the needed variables to produce a pkt from the 
call to the POSIX module is that I found it convenient to dump the one call to 
a hash such as,

    @DateTime = split / /, strftime "%H %M", gmtime;

so that all the required variables could be extracted from it's position in the 
hash without having to format them any further.  One call will get everything 
and then be employed wherever in the header it needs to be placed.  Some of the 
variables may need to be converted, such as to hex integers, but the same 
information is good for all output within any given message, such as the 
DateTime string users actually see when Fido messaging.

Just thought I'd mention it while I was thinking about it.

Life is good,
Maurice
