in reply to Re^2: Time::Piece epoch parsing
in thread Time::Piece epoch parsing

I am not looking for way to parse epoch, I am investigating why strptime with %s works wrong.
Um, strptime is a function that (I think) is short for string-parse-time, and %s is the field descriptor for epoch, so I think you are trying to parse an epoch, whether you realize it or not.

    There's a small but important distinction, though. He is not trying to parse, he is parsing[*]. Elsewhere, the problem lies.

    No, I actually have a function which accepts strptime-like-format and data to parse and parses it. So I need strptime functionality and other ways to parse epoch are useless to me.
