( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Even after working out $today in epoch, I still had the problem that I was storing bank hols as epoch. I would also need to look at each bank hol, and apply correct daylight saving time, before I could correctly establish its epoch start. I realised it was much easier to store bank hols as yyy:MM:DD and look at the date from localtime when I flip.

I found another edge case around the transitions between saving/non saving. This could be bad as I may be treating alerts as OOH for an hour when the clocks go forward. I have added the following code to the main node to fix this

$valid = POSIX::mktime(@start, $date, $mnth, $yr); $valid += $add * (24*60*60); # Check for daylight savings adjustment my $dst = $start[2] - +(localtime $valid)[2]; $valid += $dst * 60 * 60; my $now = time;

Cheers,
R.

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
