8.226. Time::localtime
Replaces Perl's core
localtime function with a version that returns
Time::tm objects. Exports two functions.
ctime |
$ct = ctime( )
Overrides the core localtime function in scalar
context; returns a string with the date and time:
use Time::gmtime;
$ct = ctime( );
print $ctThen the output of the print command looks like: Thu Apr 9 16:50:10 1998
localtime |
$lt = localtime( )
Overrides the core localtime function. The
Time::tm object returned has methods with the same names as the
structure fields they return. That is, to return the field
mon, use the mon method:
use Time::localtime;
$lt = localtime( );
print $lt->mon;The field names (and therefore the method names) are the same as the
names of the fields in the tm structure in the C
file time.h: sec,
min, hour,
mday, mon,
year, wday,
yday, and isdst. You can access
the fields with the methods or by importing the fields into your
namespace with the :FIELDS import tag and prepending
tm_ to the method name (for example,
$tm_mon).
