>Description:

When running mirror under Perl 5.14, the latter complains:

Legacy library timelocal.pl will be removed from the Perl core distribution in the next major release. Please install it from the CPAN distribution Perl4::CoreLibs. It is being used at /usr/local/lib/mirror/dateconv.pl, line 50.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install and start it.

>Fix:

Add the patch:

 # Use timelocal rather than gmtime.
