NAME

6       Time::localtime - by-name interface to Perl's built-in localtime()
7       function
8

SYNOPSIS

10        use Time::localtime;
11        printf "Year is %d\n", localtime->year() + 1900;
12
13        $now = ctime();
14
15        use Time::localtime;
16        use File::stat;
17        $date_string = ctime(stat($file)->mtime);
18

DESCRIPTION

20       This module's default exports override the core localtime() function,
21       replacing it with a version that returns "Time::tm" objects.  This
22       object has methods that return the similarly named structure field name
23       from the C's tm structure from time.h; namely sec, min, hour, mday,
24       mon, year, wday, yday, and isdst.
25
26       You may also import all the structure fields directly into your
27       namespace as regular variables using the :FIELDS import tag.  (Note
28       that this still overrides your core functions.)  Access these fields as
29       variables named with a preceding "tm_" in front their method names.
30       Thus, "$tm_obj->mday()" corresponds to $tm_mday if you import the
31       fields.
32
33       The ctime() function provides a way of getting at the scalar sense of
34       the original CORE::localtime() function.
35
36       To access this functionality without the core overrides, pass the "use"
37       an empty import list, and then access function functions with their
38       full qualified names.  On the other hand, the built-ins are still
39       available via the "CORE::" pseudo-package.

NOTE

42       While this class is currently implemented using the Class::Struct
43       module to build a struct-like class, you shouldn't rely upon this.
