Time::Piece Description

Time::Piece is a Perl module that contains Object Oriented time objects. Time::Piece is a Perl module that contains Object Oriented time objects.SYNOPSIS use Time::Piece; my $t = localtime; print "Time is $tn"; print "Year is ", $t->year, "n";This module replaces the standard localtime and gmtime functions with implementations that return objects. It does so in a backwards compatible manner, so that using localtime/gmtime in the way documented in perlfunc will still return what you expect.The module actually implements most of an interface described by Larry Wall on the perl5-porters mailing list here: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2000-01/msg00241.htmlUSAGEAfter importing this module, when you use localtime or gmtime in a scalar context, rather than getting an ordinary scalar string representing the date and time, you get a Time::Piece object, whose stringification happens to produce the same effect as the localtime and gmtime functions. There is also a new() constructor provided, which is the same as localtime(), except when passed a Time::Piece object, in which case it's a copy constructor. The following methods are available on the object: $t->sec # also available as $t->second $t->min # also available as $t->minute $t->hour # 24 hour $t->mday # also available as $t->day_of_month $t->mon # 1 = January $t->_mon # 0 = January $t->monname # Feb $t->month # same as $t->monname $t->fullmonth # February $t->year # based at 0 (year 0 AD is, of course 1 BC) $t->_year # year minus 1900 $t->yy # 2 digit year $t->wday # 1 = Sunday $t->_wday # 0 = Sunday $t->day_of_week # 0 = Sunday $t->wdayname # Tue $t->day # same as wdayname $t->fullday # Tuesday $t->yday # also available as $t->day_of_year, 0 = Jan 01 $t->isdst # also available as $t->daylight_savings $t->hms # 12:34:56 $t->hms(".") # 12.34.56 $t->time # same as $t->hms $t->ymd # 2000-02-29 $t->date # same as $t->ymd $t->mdy # 02-29-2000 $t->mdy("/") # 02/29/2000 $t->dmy # 29-02-2000 $t->dmy(".") # 29.02.2000 $t->datetime # 2000-02-29T12:34:56 (ISO 8601) $t->cdate # Tue Feb 29 12:34:56 2000 "$t" # same as $t->cdate $t->epoch # seconds since the epoch $t->tzoffset # timezone offset in a Time::Seconds object $t->julian_day # number of days since Julian period began $t->mjd # modified Julian date (JD-2400000.5 days) $t->week # week number (ISO 8601) $t->is_leap_year # true if it its $t->month_last_day # 28-31 $t->time_separator($s) # set the default separator (default ":") $t->date_separator($s) # set the default separator (default "-") $t->day_list(@days) # set the default weekdays $t->mon_list(@days) # set the default months $t->strftime(FORMAT) # same as POSIX::strftime (without the overhead # of the full POSIX extension) $t->strftime() # "Tue, 29 Feb 2000 12:34:56 GMT" Time::Piece->strptime(STRING, FORMAT) # see strptime man page.
