I need a program that will set a timer from a specific event. For instance the last time I checked my email was 8:20pm on 09/21/02 (not really, just for an example). I need it to be specific to my time zone too.....any idea's where I could find that?

I don't know where you can find this in a server-side script. But I do know that I've seen this in javascript.

www.javascriptsource.com (check under "clocks")

Wouldn't a javascript set the time based on clock of the viewers computer? I want it to be based on my time zone only.

ok, that looks like what I'm after, but I don't know how to use it. What do I set the chmod to? does it have to be in the cgi-bin? In the filed timed.txt, what format do I set the time with?

It can go anywhere in your cgi-bin. chmod 755

I don't know enough about perl to help you customize it.
