NAME

6       Net::Time - time and daytime network client interface
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use Net::Time qw(inet_time inet_daytime);
10
11           print inet_time();          # use default host from Net::Config
12           print inet_time('localhost');
13           print inet_time('localhost', 'tcp');
14
15           print inet_daytime();       # use default host from Net::Config
16           print inet_daytime('localhost');
17           print inet_daytime('localhost', 'tcp');

DESCRIPTION

20       "Net::Time" provides subroutines that obtain the time on a remote
21       machine.
22
23   Functions
24       "inet_time([$host[, $protocol[, $timeout]]])"
25           Obtain the time on $host, or some default host if $host is not
26           given or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC868. The
27           optional argument $protocol should define the protocol to use,
28           either "tcp" or "udp". The result will be a time value in the same
29           units as returned by time() or undef upon failure.
30
31       "inet_daytime([$host[, $protocol[, $timeout]]])"
32           Obtain the time on $host, or some default host if $host is not
33           given or not defined, using the protocol as defined in RFC867. The
34           optional argument $protocol should define the protocol to use,
35           either "tcp" or "udp". The result will be an ASCII string or undef
36           upon failure.
