Time::gmtime
See the current Perl documentation for Time::gmtime.
Here is our local, out-dated (pre-5.6) version:
Time::gmtime - by-name interface to Perl's built-in
gmtime()
function
use Time::gmtime; $gm = gmtime(); printf "The day in Greenwich is %s\n", (qw(Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun))[ gm->wday() ];
use Time::gmtime w(:FIELDS; printf "The day in Greenwich is %s\n&
This module's default exports override the core
gmtime()
function, replacing it with a version that returns ``Time::tm'' objects. This object has methods that return the similarly named structure field name from the C's tm structure from time.h; namely sec, min, hour, mday, mon, year, wday, yday, and isdst.You may also import all the structure fields directly into your namespace as regular variables using the :FIELDS import tag. (Note that this still overrides your core functions.) Access these fields as variables named with a preceding
tm_
in front their method names. Thus,$tm_obj->mday()
corresponds to$tm_mday
if you import the fields.The
gmctime()
funtion provides a way of getting at the scalar sense of the original CORE::gmtime() function.To access this functionality without the core overrides, pass the use an empty import list, and then access function functions with their full qualified names. On the other hand, the built-ins are still available via the
CORE::
pseudo-package.
NOTE
While this class is currently implemented using the Class::Struct module to build a struct-like class, you shouldn't rely upon this.
