NAME

6       POSIX::strptime - Perl extension to the POSIX date parsing strptime(3)
7       function
8

SYNOPSIS

10        ($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $yday, $isdst) = POSIX::strptime("string", "Format");
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Perl interface to strptime(3)
14

FUNCTIONS

16       strptime
17            ($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $mon, $year, $wday, $yday) = POSIX::strptime(string, format);
18
19           The result for any value not extracted is not defined. Some
20           platforms may reliably return "undef", but this is dependent on the
21           strptime(3) function in the underlying C library.
22
23           For example, only the following fields may be relied upon:
24
25            my ($min, $hour) = ( POSIX::strptime( "01:23", '%H:%M' ) )[1,2];
26
27            my ($mday, $mon, $year) = ( POSIX::strptime( "2010/07/16", '%Y/%m/%d' ) )[3,4,5];
28
29           Furthermore, not all platforms will set the $wday and $yday
30           elements. If these values are required, use "mktime" and "gmtime":
31
32            use POSIX qw( mktime );
33            use POSIX::strptime qw( strptime );
34
35            my ($mday, $mon, $year) = ( POSIX::strptime( "2010/07/16", '%Y/%m/%d' ) )[3,4,5];
36            my $wday = ( gmtime mktime 0, 0, 0, $mday, $mon, $year )[6];
