Time::localtime

See the current Perl documentation for Time::localtime.

Here is our local, out-dated (pre-5.6) version:

Time::localtime - by-name interface to Perl's built-in localtime() function

 use Time::localtime;
 printf "Year is %d\n", localtime->year() + 1900;

 $now = ctime();

 use Time::localtime;
 use File::stat;
 $date_string = ctime(stat($file)->mtime);
<
    

    

This module's default exports override the core 
localtime() 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 
ctime() funtion provides a way
of getting at the scalar sense of the original CORE::localtime() 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.
