Name
localtime
Synopsis
$lt
= localtime( )
Overrides the core localtime
function. The Time::tm object
returned has methods with the same names as the structure fields
they return. That is, to return the field
mon, use the mon
method:
use Time::localtime; $lt = localtime( ); print $lt->mon;
The field names (and therefore the method names) are the
same as the names of the fields in the tm
structure in the C file time.h: sec
, min
, hour
, mday
, mon
, year
, wday
, yday
, and isdst
. You can access the fields with
the methods or by importing the fields into your namespace with
the :FIELDS import tag and prepending tm_
to the method name (for example,
$tm_mon
).
